Review on 🎧 Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra - Black: Premium Audio Streaming Excellence by Troy Simpson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Extremely low price, Roon outputs

First, let me say that a perfectly reasonable Roon endpoint can be purchased for $40 (Google Chromecast Audio, buy it while you can). You can also combine the Stream Box Ultra S2 feature with a very cheap RPi. Issues I'm having: 1) Identifies my DAC (SU-8) but reports Roon incorrectly 2) No setup instructions, see Roon support page before tearing your hair out 3) Performance over WiFi up to Google Chromecast in 40 Dollar equivalent (96kHz PCM Audio) 4) NO phone support from Pro-ject or its US partner Sumiko 5) WiFi does not support 5G 6) Wired Ethernet port does not support 1000BaseTX The price is absurd for what you get.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Compatibility
