Comments on the Olive Opus CD Player


Olive recently announced the Opus as a High-end CD player that stores 1,100 CDs in lossless quality. Has anyone that purchased the Olive Opus have any comments on the unit’s sound quality? How long does it take to store your CD’s? Does it require an internet connection like the McIntosh MS300 Music server? Your comments on the Olive Opus are requested. Thanks..

With anything that requires an ethernet connection, you can get a wireless bridge that will let you use it wirelessly. They sell them for the original Xbox, but there wouldn't be anything stopping you from using one with a music server.
My Opus is on the way...scheduled to deliver on Monday. As I develop my opinions, I will post them.
That audiocircle thread is wild! The main gist seems to be that OPUS digital out is less than top-notch for some reason, but that the internal DAC sounds very good. If I understand it correctly... (the lower-end Musica and Symphony units have fine digital out, it appears).

I have a Musica and like it. My intention is to eventually use it with an external DAC. That's an option worth considering if you can live with the smaller hard drive -- it's much less expensive, and the extra money can go towards a good DAC.
YEs Musica is the way to go.
I am the one who started that thread on the circle.
