Orpheus II: The Best Retro PC Sound Card in 2023? Perhaps!

From comes the Orpheus 2 – a new 16-bit ISA sound card! Could this be the best one for vintage computers right now? An argument can be made for that I think. On-board Gravis Ultrasound PnP compatibility, plus all the Orpheus 1 features like Sound Blaster Pro compatibility, Yamaha OPL3, and an intelligent mode MPU-401. As far as modern replica sound cards go, this thing is a step above the rest at the moment! ● LGR links: ● Links to things mentioned in the video: Official Orpheus II website (huge thanks to Leo for the card!)
