Introducing Orpheus Lab
Orpheus, in Greek mythology, was a legendary musician of whom it was written, “There was no limit to his power when he played his lyre and sang. No one and nothing could resist him.” The Swiss Orpheus Lab brand of electronics is aptly named: the sound of Orpheus Lab components combines astonishing detail and depth, with an irresistible, beguiling naturalness.
Orpheus Lab products feature a lyre on their front panels to commemorate the myth made real in perfect form. Every Orpheus product exemplifies the craftsmanship practiced by Swiss artisans for centuries. The precision and balance required in the design and construction of mechanical chronometers can be seen in Orpheus components, inside and out: outside, the seamless casework, hewn from solid metal, prepares expectations for the inside, where circuits are flawlessly laid out with micrometer-level precision from parts of the highest quality.
Orpheus components aren’t just sculptural objects—they’re made to bring music to life. Preamps and amplifiers feature proprietary circuits that allow massive power output with the immediacy and speed normally associated only with low-powered units. DACs utilize multiple processing paths in order to minimize noise, provide complete isolation of each channel, and perfectly match levels for rock-solid stereo imaging.
Orpheus Lab components provide the perfect balance between art and engineering, making music that charms and provides joy to the listener—and will do so for generations to come. Perfection is rare: perfection that endures is even rarer. Orpheus instruments offer perfection that endures.

Orpheus Product Lines
The Orpheus Absolute Line may be the entry to Orpheus performance and refinement, but these single-box models exceed the performance of top of the line models from many well-known brands. The five Absolute models consist of: two source components, a stereo preamplifier, a stereo power amplifier, and a stereo integrated amplifier.
The Heritage Opus II Line is Orpheus’ no-limits line, consisting of three models which utilize every conceivable method to produce the best possible musical performance: a SACD player, a stereo preamplifier, and monoblock power amplifiers. The SACD player and preamplifier each come with a dual-isolation outboard power supply ensuring complete immunity from power line noise.
With unrivalled engineering resulting in absolute transparency and real-world dynamics, Orpheus products give life to the music and take you closer to the artist’s performance with an authenticity you never thought possible.
