Yes, Opus 2 is totally in for that balances and neutrality but yet very musical and soulful to me. Very good review Cleg .

@Whitigir thank you for a feedback

Would you say the Opus #1 is warmer than this DAP?

@PinkyPowers mine OPUS#1 is in loaner tour in Ukraine, so I can't make a direct comparison, but as I remember (and I can be wrong, as memory isn't reliable here) OPUS#1 isn't warmer then this. OPUS#2 has better defined bass with better body, but they both are far from being warm to me. But precise answer can be given only after A/B testing

Thanks.

How about the driving power? Is it about the same as the Opus #1? I know you said the #2 isn't great for driving full cans, but I'm quite impressed by the output power found in this little #1 I'm testing.

@PinkyPowers no, OPUS#2 is also good for "normal" full-size cans, it's just not enough for really tough models. It has 2.5 Vrms from balanced output, which is really OK.

So is the EQ fixed on the #2 that it's in real time?

Sorry, I didn't got your question

When using the EQ on the #1 you have to stop the music and start again for the EQ to apply. Very annoying. Is that resolved on the #2?

I've just checked with my OPUS#2 — changes in the EQ are almost instant and you can turn it on/off and adjust without stopping music.

Nice! Looks like they fixed it. Thank you. I wonder how the #2 compares to the Cowon P1.
