OStewart Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 Hi guys, just wondering if anyone here uses one of these? I have one as my portable amp/DAC paired with an iPod Classic 7G, and it is pretty awesome. Oppo seem to have taken on the headphone market and made some very impressive first products (like the PM-3) Share your thoughts and opinions Quote
kugino Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 i just got one of these...didn't really want it but a HF member sold me a new one at a great price so i had to pick it up. love the form factor, love its swiss army knife functionality...not sure yet about its sound. it sounds a bit closed-in running out of an imac, though it might very well be my cIEMs, which aren't that great. in the end, i might end up using this mainly as a portable battery charger for my iphone.

OStewart Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Posted June 16, 2015 It's great for portable use, I still use my iFi iDAC with iTube and iCan at home. The Oppo doesn't have the most powerful headphone amp but with my CIEM's I found the Oppo to bring out a little more detail and top end. I do like the versatility of the device and the build quality is stunning. Quote

Aura Posted September 28, 2016 Report Posted September 28, 2016 It's a cool little piece... I wish the power bank capacity was more like 10,000mAh but of course that's just a secondary feature. Quote
RudeWolf Posted September 28, 2016 Report Posted September 28, 2016 Well, 10Ah would mean 2x the size. No way around it. As for the new design, I hope the cold sterile Sabre sound has been warmed up a little. Otherwise it has always struck me as a stellar offering technologically way above the rest and at a killer price. All in all - go Oppo! I really like my PM-3. 2 Quote

grawk Posted September 28, 2016 Report Posted September 28, 2016 I'd be ok with twice as thick, honestly. Quote
CarlSeibert Posted September 28, 2016 Report Posted September 28, 2016 I like my HA-2. It gives a slightly warmish, tubey sound on most of my headphones. The NAD HP-50s don't like it, but pretty much all the others do. Why don't they make the damned phones twice as thick? They'd be easier to handle and the batteries would run for days. Grrr. Quote
