Pro-Ject Audio Systems has been a key player in the audio industry since 1990, dedicated to delivering exceptional value. The latest in their lineup, the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 MQA Audio DAC, exemplifies this commitment by offering high-resolution audio through MQA technology.
Measuring just 4” x 4” x 1.25”, this compact digital preamplifier is designed for versatility, making it suitable for desktop setups or as a portable audio solution. The aluminum chassis is available in sleek silver or black, featuring a full-sized headphone jack and a user-friendly volume knob. Its tiny display and buttons allow for easy input selection and menu navigation.
Equipped with the exceptional ESS Sabre ESS9038 dual DAC, the Pre Box S2 supports up to 32-bit PCM 768kHz and DSD512, ensuring superior sound quality. While MQA unfolding is exclusive to USB input, the optical and coaxial connections still offer impressive performance at 24/192.
