Lol when another company out do Sony at celebrating a Sony product.
In 1979, Japan's Sony launched the world's first Walkman TPS-L2, bringing a more relaxed and convenient way of listening to music for consumers. The status of this TPS-L2 in the hearts of old players is self-evident. However, the Oriolus DPS-L2 newly launched by the elderly audio studio is not only similar in model, but also very similar in appearance and color scheme. It is obviously a tribute to the 40-year classic!
But Oriolus DPS-L2 is not a traditional cassette player, but a digital music player. The shell is made of aluminum alloy CNC. The original transparent cassette pane is replaced with a 2.4-inch IPS display screen with 7H hardness. The toughened glass enhances clarity and scratch resistance. The internal DAC uses the ESS high-end ES9038PRO chip, and the LPF circuit uses the low-distortion, low-noise OPA1612, and supports up to PCM 32bit/384kHz and Native DSD 256 high-resolution music formats.
In addition to playing digital music in the internal memory (supporting up to 512GB TF memory card), DPS-L2 also has two-way Bluetooth transmission. Bluetooth transmission can support aptX. In other words, DPS-L2 can not only be paired with Bluetooth headsets/speakers, but also It can be used as a Bluetooth DAC ear amplifier. In addition, it also supports functions such as Hiby Link and USB bidirectional transmission.
In order to maintain the operating style of the classic cassette player, the original factory designed a mechanical button structure for the DPS-L2, and even the volume control is a sliding ALPS analog potentiometer. The headphone output is configured on the side of the fuselage, providing one set of 4.4mm balanced output and two sets of 3.5mm unbalanced output. In addition, there is a HotLine button at the bottom. When you are listening to music, press this button to switch to Listen to the external environment sound, save the trouble of taking off the earphones!
As for the sound performance, the original manufacturer stated that the DPS-L2 inherits the traditional taste of the classic reproduction cassette player, pursues a natural and balanced music style, and also supports 10-band EQ adjustments. As for the actual sound performance? I still have to listen to it in person. It is said that the agent has already obtained the prototype. Friends who are interested may wish to pay attention to the news of the agent's relevant audition activities.
