Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital Preamplifier

Digital micro preamplifier with MQA and DSD512 support

Pre Box S2 Digital marks a new era forPro-Ject’s S-series components. For the very first timeit is using a dual mono configuration with the highest class D/A converters of ESS Sabre.The flagship DAC-chip ensures highest class audio in a small and affordable package. This DAC is capable of high-resolution audio up to 32bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512! Pre Box S2 Digital is also the very first of our devices to support hardware MQA unfolding. Its also the premiere ofPro-Ject’s proprietary Optimum transient digital filter and its proprietary clock circuitry design. Digital audio is the art of time, with Pro-Ject’s new proprietary clock design it has managed jitter rates of unrivaled 100 Femtoseconds, this easily outperforms many renowned and respected audiophile clock generators!

With organic polymer capacitors and thin film miniMELF resistors we were able to create a tiny device that will blow away even much bigger components for a much higher price. With a total of eight digital filters the sound can be shaped precisely to the listeners liking. Pre Box S2 Digitalcomes with a remote control.
