Pro Ject Pre Box S2 Digital Review

DAC with excellent sound in its price range. It's not really a plug and play device. While it's likely to stream audio as soon as you plug it in, it'll only be CD-quality audio regardless of the source. MQA requires little effort; Download the drivers from their website or from the CD that came with them. You will also need to adjust the settings on the TIDAL website if you use them to get the MQA sound. I'm honestly excited about this component, I think it's a good upgrade from the DacMAGIC…

I use this product in my main hearing aid. It replaced a product that was several times more expensive than the previous one and had almost the same features. This product sounds a lot better, is more flexible and takes up a lot less space than the DAC it replaced. It also has a fully functional remote control which was not available in the previous DAC. In fact, I am amazed that a product with such features and high quality can be offered at such a price. I don't use it as a preamp. I set the…

The Pro Ject Box S2 sound was detailed, clear and articulated across the spectrum. It's maintained its bass composure, but if you want extended bass you'll need a subwoofer. (Good luck figuring out how this would fit in the box.) The highs were accurate, with no harshness or harshness. His sound lacked space and warmth, two traits of classical music. Several reviews of ProJect products mention loose parts, poor assembly, etc. The S2D that I received is solidly built with no loose parts…

I bought a TIDAL MQA audio product and it works great! I have an iMac (27 inch, 2017, High Sierra OS) and Focal Clear headphones. However, unlike Audioquest etc, the Pro-Ject website gives almost no configuration information (and you can't email it), so the following should help. After a few tries, I found out that the USB port on the S2 Digital is for a USB 2.0 B cable. USB 3.0 does not work. What worked was the USB 2.0 AB cable. Go to TIDAL settings. Then stream. Of course, select "Master"…

Just bought and tried it for 2 days. I set the sound quality to Best, but MQA decoding turns off and on during playback of almost all songs from different albums (purchased and downloaded from e-onkyo. 44.1kHz and 96kHz). Tried 'Audirvana' and 'Roon', both have the same problem. Never before when I've used a DAC on UDP-205. That means my system (Mac mini) is fine. Does anyone have the same problem or does anyone know how to solve this? By the way. FW v2.12.*** I finally figured it out.*** All…

I have been collecting headphones and accessories for 4 years. 5 different pairs from Audeze, 2 pairs from Focal and other types from Fostex and Sennheiser. Deckard's own DAC/amplifier, iFi Micro iDSD BL, iFi Pro iCan and popular SMSL 1st Gen DAC (ESS 9018) with added mains power. Fuhrman Elite Air Conditioning and iFi AC Noise Suppression and AQ Interconnects with DBS 72V. Tidal MQA (HiFi) is the most typical source. Mention the hardware to set the stage for my promise that these are SIMPLY…
