I really don’t remember how I got to be following this thread, but I have been following it for a few months now. I ordered a new Opus #1s yesterday.
I am an old, gray haired curmudgeon who’s been without a portable music player for 5 or 6 years. I reconfigured my music and listening a couple years ago with FLAC files, a decent tube amp and a fine set of headphones (WA2 and Beyer T1.2). I will be traveling quite a bit this summer, and I have felt the need to get a reasonable Hi-Res DAP.
I was pleased to see a device where the money is focused on reproducing hi fidelity music without a lot of extraneous bells and whistles. I don’t stream audio, and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth has no appeal to me. I want a Hi-Res music player, not a Swiss army knife.
I also ordered a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 2, wired, over the ear headphones to use while I am traveling. I was unable to find information on the pairing, but I do hope the M2s pair well with the #1s.
All in all, I am grateful to those who have contributed details to this thread, and without being able to listen beforehand, I am confident in my decision to purchase the 1s – thanks.
