Oriolus DPS-L2 Portable Hi-Fi Digital Audio Player

We’re not going to bury the lede here—the Oriolus DPS-L2 Portable HiFi Music Player is a nostalgia blast with truly impressive playback functionality. The DPS-L2 is a portable hi-fi music player that looks just like the classic pocketable tape players of the ‘80s—right down to the dual headphone jacks and clickable buttons. Of course, on the inside, there’s a whole different store. Flip the windowed lid open and you’ll see a bright, sharp 2.4-inch IPS display that shows you what’s going on with your music and your playback. Handling the decoding part of the equation, a supremely capable ES9038 Pro delivers resolutions up to 384 kilohertz, 32-bit with DSD256 support right on-board. That’s paired with a six-way amplification circuit that employs high-end transistors to deliver clean audio output, with options for both balanced and single-ended. From a file-type perspective, you can playback all of the modern formats you’d want, such as FLAC, APE, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, mp3, WMA, and more. And thanks to its ultra compact size and retro two-tone design, the Oriolus DPS-L2 will look great in your pocket—convincing everyone around you that you’re all ‘80s, all the time.
