Welcome to the Orpheus II Sound Card *limited Black ed.* homepage.

The Orpheus II *limited Black ed.* is the exact same card as the classic green OrpheusII soundcard - just with a black PCB.
For more info , downloads and reviews plseae visit the OrpheusII homepage.


So what is the deal with this "limited Black edition" OrpheusII ?

While we are working on making another batch of OrpheusII soundcards it became apparent that we need to update the PCB design once more to make up for parts that
are not available because of shortages and replace them with equivalent parts that either replaced them or are easier to find. One example of such changes are the golden
Nichicon audio capacitors: just like the OrpheusII LT and latest MK8330 revision these will be replaced with their SMD equivalents (UUQ audio-grade series from Nichicon).

So these Black OrpheusII exist for 2 reasons:
1. to deplete all components we already have and won't be used in the newer batch of OrpheusII cards
2. to help with the rising costs of next batch production.

As such the number of black boards is very small: only 14 boards are available , and their price is higher because it's such a small production run.

Please rest assured we are actively working to bring the next batch of OrpheusII with the old price, this is not an attempt to raise prices or create a virtual shortage of cards.
OrpheusII will return in it's green glory in a couple of months (it's an estimation so please don't hold it against us if it's a little more than that, summer time is a little unpredictable).





How to order it:

Before ordering the Orpheus II please keep in mind that this is a piece of hardware for advanced users. It requires knowledge about how to effectively use the Gravis UltraSound PnP soundcard, some effort and games patching to make Classic GUS software compatible with it and on top you will have to juggle a 3in1 card: PCMIDI + CS4237 Soundcard + GUS PnP so good IRQ/DMA resource management is expected. This is not a warning to deter people from ordering but a warning of what to expect: you will face the same situations as with having an original GUS PnP card + a main soundcard + a MPU-401 interface installed together in a system.
