The high-quality CD transport Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the top model of this class in the catalog of this Austrian company. The device has a top-loading disk drive based on a precision mechanism. The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the perfect embodiment of the Red Book Audio CD standard, which will allow you to hear your CD collection in a new way.
Specialized CD players are significantly better at reproducing stereo CD recordings than DVD or Blu-ray players. CD Box DS2T is designed as a pure audio CD transport that transmits high-precision digital signals of the "Red Book" standard to an external digital-to-analog converter.
The DAC in the Pro-Ject CD Box S3 is based on the Burr-Brown PCM5102 chip from Texas Instruments. Data from a CD is decoded after upsampling to 32-bit / 384 kHz parameters. As a result, the dynamic range is expanded and distortion is minimized.
The Pro-Ject CD Box E is the first CD player from the Austrian company Pro-Ject in the budget series Elementary. The quality of the model can be assessed at a glance: the compact metal body and aluminum front panel negate vibrations and electrical interference.
