Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T

The drive makes all the difference

The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T features a CD-Pro-8 drive with Blue Tiger CD 84 servo control from StreamUnlimited, designed specifically for playing CDs according to the Red Book standard. The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the first CD player ever to use this reissued CD-Pro-8. With the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T, audio data can be transferred to an external converter not only via standard digital outputs (optical, coaxial, and balanced), but also via I²S transmission. In the RS bus, audio data and clock signals are processed separately. Transmission to the D/A converter is via HDMI cable. This results in a significant improvement in sound quality compared to conventional digital outputs. In the RS bus, the audio data and clock signals are processed separately. The transfer to the D/A converter is done via HDMI cable. Compared to data transfer with standard digital cables followed by conventional digital signal processing, this results in significantly lower jitter (phase jitter) in the audio signal. The optimal and logical playback partner for the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital preamplifier with its integrated D/A converter and the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T.

The optimal and logical partners for the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T are the Pro-Ject Pre Box RS2 Digital preamplifier with its integrated D/A converter and the Pro-Ject DAC Box RS2 reference D/A converter. Ideally, the devices are connected to each other via the I²S interface. This guarantees virtually jitter-free data transmission between the transport and the D/A converter. This guarantees virtually jitter-free data transfer between the transport and the D/A converter. An extra tip for even better sound is the external linear power supply Power Box RS Uni 1-way.

An extra tip for even better sound is the external Power Box RS Uni 1-way linear power supply. Its copper foil shielding around the primary winding of the toroidal transformer reliably shields the power supply and connected devices from interference from the mains. A powerful toroidal transformer guarantees high current delivery, which is very practical: if the connected device is switched off, it can be conveniently switched on and off with a single switch operation on the Pro-Ject Power Box RS Uni 1-way. Note: The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is a pure CD drive without a D/A converter. An external D/A converter is required for operation.
