Looks like Oriolus is launching some exciting new stuff
First is the Oriolus BD2 DAC
![1.jpg 1.jpg](https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11291756_thumb.jpg)
Looks like it has the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC. It has 4.4mm BAL and 3.5mm Line Outs only so probably no dedicated amp? Comes with replaceable op-amps?
Next is the Oriolus BA20 AMP
![2.jpg 2.jpg](https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11291757_thumb.jpg)
Looks like a SS amp with replaceable op amps. They include opamps for you. 3.5mm/4.4mm to 3.5mm/4.4mm standard. 3 gain levels and it allows you to choose between internal battery and external Power. Seems to do 500mW at 32ohms?
Next is the Oriolus SE02 EQ
![3.jpg 3.jpg](https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11291758_thumb.jpg)
Straightforward 4.4mm EQ with Pass through option
Next is the Oriolus 1795 Reference BT Receiver
![4.jpg 4.jpg](https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11291759_thumb.jpg)
Not much into BT devices but has 2.5mm/3.5mm or 4.4mm/3.5mm versions. LDAC supported.
Another version is the Oriolus 1795D BT Receiver
![5.jpg 5.jpg](https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11291760_thumb.jpg)
This is meant to be paired with the BD20 as a BT Receiver.
Lastly is the age old Oriolus BA300s Tube Amp
![6.jpg 6.jpg](https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/11291761_thumb.jpg)
This has been available for a while but I wanted to do a shout out to this little tube amp. This is one of the best portable tube amps on the market. Super transparent and adds a richness to the midrange characteristic of tubes. This punches way above its price range.
All devices except the BA300s have USB C input/charge.
Personally I AM HYPE!!!
I will probably do
Oriolus BD20 DAC -> 4.4mm to 4.4mm JPS Superconductor -> Oriolus BA300s Pre-Amp -> 4.4mm to 4.4mm JPS Superconductor -> Oriolus BA20 Amp -> JPS Superconductor for Diana -> Abyss Diana V2/Phi
I also plan to upgrade all opamps with Burson V5i.
I hope the BD20 and the BA20 give me as much SQ for my money as the BA300s gives me everytime I listen to it.
This might very well be my uber endgame transportable Headfi system.
Edit:
Looks like a new version of BA300s has been released with a USB C charge port
