   Leave it to Pioneer to make DJ gear with "Opus" in the name that doesn't play Opus files 😂

     @be reminds me of Microsoft's "PlaysForSure"[R] format - which their flagship 'iPod-Killer'... didn't support.

     Corporations *all* suck.

     It plays FLAC and the libflac and libopus APIs are very similar, so it wouldn't be very hard to add Opus support. They just don't care. I don't care much either, but I find the irony hilarious, and very on-brand with a history of odd technical decisions.
