opus - Dec 2013 - Real hardware for opus

vorbis, mpeg1 layer 3  and more have special hardware support in
audio players widely available but I can't find anything for opus.

Is there any?

If you try to use opus for music on the go it's a requirement to have
for long battery life isn't it?

The vast majority of audio players do *not* have special hardware for
MP3 and Vorbis. Decoding audio is so cheap that there's no reason to
bother with the trouble of having a dedicated hardware for it.

So an iPod made in the last 4 years has not even a dsp
that's used for help in low-power playback of mp3?

What are my best options for a portable player I can
put opus on and have 10 hours of opus playback?
