The Pro-Ject DAC Box RS is a reference-class digital-to-analogue converter designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional performance from their digital stereo sources. It serves as a high-quality USB audio interface for HD computer audio, offering versatile connectivity options. The DAC Box RS supports I2S with Master Clock, AES/EBU, optical, and coaxial inputs, providing compatibility with a wide range of digital audio devices. With full DSD capability (up to DSD128) and support for 24/192kHz HD audio on all inputs (96/24 for optical), it ensures outstanding sound quality. Equipped with two premium PCM 1792 DAC chips, the DAC Box RS also features selectable digital filters to allow users to fine-tune the sound to their preferences. Features Selected Diamond ECC88 high-end tubes Selected components and improved internal wiring Double top grade 24bit/192kHz PCM-1792 D/A chip from Texas Instruments 9 Inputs: I2S, asynchronous USB, AES-EBU, optical, coax DSD (up to DSD128) capability (DSD over PCM) I2S interface for CD Box RS 2 selectable digital filter settings Fully balanced analogue audio circuitry Tube and solid-state output stage (switchable) Ultra linear and ultra low noise circuitry IR remote control included XLR and RCA line level output sockets Full aluminium casing in silver or black Made in Europe Tube and Solid-State Output Options The DAC Box RS offers the flexibility of two distinct output stages, allowing users to choose between a warm, relaxed tube output or a more detailed, dynamic solid-state Class A output. This versatility lets you match the DAC’s output to your personal taste and the style of music you enjoy. The inclusion of ultra-low noise, ultra-linear design, and a low output impedance ensures that the DAC delivers a clean and interference-free signal, regardless of which output stage you choose. Exclusive Final Edition Improvements The Final Edition of the DAC Box RS takes audio performance to new heights with the inclusion of two specially selected and matched diamond ECC88 high-end tubes. These tubes enhance the overall sound, making the DAC Box RS an even more enticing option for audiophiles seeking top-tier performance at a competitive price. In addition to the upgraded tubes, the DAC Box RS Final Edition benefits from carefully chosen electrical components and improved internal wiring, ensuring only the finest materials are used. Upgrade with Power Box RS2 Source For audiophiles who demand the best, the Power Box RS2 Sources provides a significant upgrade to the DAC Box RS. While the included power supply is already of high quality, the Power Box RS2 Sources elevates the performance of the DAC to an exceptional level. A linear power supply, with a toroidal transformer and shielding between the primary and secondary windings, isolates the DAC’s sensitive circuitry from interference that can often come from mains power. The separate unit design of the Power Box RS2 Sources, encased in a sturdy aluminium housing, offers superior shielding compared to other solutions, ensuring that the DAC Box RS operates at its best.
