Pro-Ject DAC Box S2+

A miniature high quality digital to analogue converter

DAC Box S2 + comes fully equipped for the highest demands of the modern audiophile. It supports playback for PCM files up to 32 bit / 768 kHz and DSD decoding up to quad DSD (DSD256). DAC Box S2 + also comes with five digital filters for soundshaping to the listener’s preferences. Three digital inputs ensure to connect to any source available, be it a personal computer via the USB B input or a TV set via the optical input. The co-axial S/PDIF input takes all data from a digital transport such as the CD Box DS2 T.

All inputs offer support for high-resolution data up to 24 bit /192 kHz. The USB input offers full high-resolution support for all files up to PCM 32/768 and DSD256. The USB input is double filtered to remove all noise.
