High-quality CD transport Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T
The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the top model in its class in the catalog of this Austrian company. The device features a top-loading disc drive built on a precision mechanism. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the perfect embodiment of the Red Book Audio CD standard, allowing you to hear your CD collection in a new way.
High-quality CD transport
Drives specially designed for CD-Audio have become rare in modern players. However, such a drive is necessary for accurate reading of information from a compact disc. Pro-Ject was the first to use the new high-tech CD-Pro 8 drive with the Blue Tiger CD-84 servo board. The drive, frame, suspension, and servo board form a new generation construction that provides unparalleled quality of work for players in this price range.
Complement with a high-class DAC
Since the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is only a transport, you can connect any high-quality DAC to it via optical and coaxial S/PDIF outputs. For compatible devices, an AES/EBU output on an XLR connector can be used to obtain a flawless digital signal. In addition, the CD Box RS2 T is equipped with an I²S interface designed for the most discerning listeners.
Sync output
The I²S master clock generator output via HDMI connector is an ideal solution that allows bypassing limitations inherent in other connection options. It is worth noting that using this standard, the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T transport will be an excellent addition to the Pre Box RS2 Digital DAC/preamp, which is built on a similar architecture.
Metal chassis
The massive chassis of the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T has excellent damping characteristics and does not deform under high temperatures. The drive frame is precision-milled from a solid block of aluminum, while the player chassis itself is machined from steel and chrome-plated. This construction guarantees that the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is highly reliable and will serve you for a long time. Without exaggeration, it can be said that the CD Box RS2 T is the best CD transport ever created. It will perfectly complement many modern premium-class DACs.
Premium-class finish
The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is housed in an elegant aluminum enclosure with silver or black finishes. The device distinguishes itself with impeccable manufacturing quality typical of High-End models. The package includes an aluminum remote control. The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T features top-loading CD disc with magnetic fixation, compatible with audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and hybrid SACDs. The mechanism is the Blue Tiger CD-Pro 8 module with top loading and CD-84 servo board. I²S + Masterclock bus output is realized through an HDMI connector.
All key elements inside the device are suspended using the company's proprietary anti-vibration system. This allows controlling the level of external vibrations reaching the internal part of the device. The drive itself is additionally stabilized and not subject to external influences. The CD mechanism has an improved aluminum alloy clamp, perfectly balanced to ensure good contact between the disc and the drive, providing smooth rotation and perfect disc reading. The suspension system consists of a rigid carbon fiber plate, carbon fiber tubes, springs, silicone dampers, and screws. The suspension and rotating disc are made of 100% natural carbon fiber.
