I tried it this morning and it was dead slow. I think I still have the firmware from when I downloaded it for my 1s. If I can find it tonight when I get home, I'll put it on on dropbox or something until they get the site issue resolved.

Very impressed with Jaben Singapore, thank you for the recommendation! The device is great, the total lack of bull**** features is just what I needed.

One thing, I noticed the touch screen was a bit iffy then saw that there's a firmware update to fix it. I've been trying to download it all morning but it's painfully slow - anyone else having the same issue?

I've been using this link:

Hi from Singapore. I also got hooked to 1S after trying it in jaben. :) I audition both opus 3 and 1s,but strangely, to my ears, 1s sound even more musical . Opus 3 is already very musical but 1s is even more so

I too like the richness of the signature

I finally got there! Speed was slow but timeouts were the real killer.

I have posted it here: https://transfer.sh/KMuQ1/Opus1S-1.00.02.zip

UPDATE: I also posted the manual because that took ages too: https://transfer.sh/14Di0R/OPUS1S_MANUALENG_01.pdf

Link should last 2 weeks, perhaps longer. If you need it again hit me up, I have backed it up now!

Audio Opus #1s > Home made Toxic Cables Viper 26awg > 64 Audio U6 (M15 module)

The Opus #1s is such an awesome player, not quite as neutral and reference style as the Opus #1, but it has a bit more impact and dynamics making it super enjoyable.

I'm a week in and I have some observations, good and bad.

Good:

- Sounds fantastic
- Rock solid UI. Android but they have done a careful job of skinning it.
- Dual SD means I can carry all my stuff all the time
- Very nice build quality
- No wifi/BT etc. Not everything in life needs an IP

Bad

- USB cable that came with the device was a dud (no data transfer, power only) - no big deal
- MTP transfer only over USB. This is a sucky protocol so I am just transferring straight to SD. Would be nice to have adb access or something.
- Simple UI might be 'too' simple for some. No search, no sorting from z-a etc etc
- Not a problem for me, but those with large collections with want to make sure their metadata etc is in order. The folder view is nice though.

Overall I very much like the 'one thing well' approach. Great device, perhaps more for old fashioned codgers like me who don't stream.
