Before we step into the introduction, I would like to talk something else about this magical classic and retro player. I was deeply attracted by its look at the first glance.

3. The volume control is independent so that it has a sensitive response and the volume adjustment can be free.
4. Play dual 3.5mm out or 4.4mm out synchronously.
