Anyone heard the newer Opus No. 5? I'm considering a 750GB version. It seems like they've beefed up the DAC over the No. 3 and it offers reasonably Hi Rez playback levels. If it sounds good, I'll probably jump, but they don't have dealers (other than Amazon and Ebayers) so I can't go hear for myself.
By "sounds good" I mean that it's comparable in sound quality to a $1000+ DAC.
Too bad it doesn't have a universal reader. I may have to downconvert to WAV in my computer in order to get some of my hi rez discs loaded in. I wonder if it'd take a digital feed direct from my Oppo. Oh well, those are details. My plan would be to load all my CDs in at hi rez and then a large number of my vinyl albums, particularly the D2D, then pack all the CDs away and use the Olive as a primary source, along with my Pro-ject RM10.
