High-quality CD transport

The high-quality CD transport Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T is the top model in this class in the catalog of this Austrian company. The device has a top-loading disc drive built on the basis of 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 readout of information from a compact disc. Pro-Ject was the first company 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 design that provides unprecedented quality of operation for players in this price range.

Complement with 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 obtaining an impeccable digital signal for compatible devices, you can use the AES/EBU output on the XLR connector. 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 the HDMI connector is an ideal solution that allows bypassing limitations originally inherent in other connection options. It is worth noting that, thanks to the use of this standard, an excellent complement to the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T transport will be the DAC/preamp Pre Box RS2 Digital, 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 frame for the drive is milled with the highest precision from a solid block of aluminum, while the chassis of the player itself is machined from steel and chromed. This design ensures that the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T has the highest reliability and will serve you for a very 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 case with silver or black finishes. The device stands out for its impeccable manufacturing quality typical of High-End models. The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T package includes a remote control in an aluminum case. The Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T features top-loading CD disc with magnetic fixation. It can work with audio CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and hybrid SACDs. The mechanism is the Blue Tiger CD-Pro 8 module with top loading and CD-84 servo board. The I²S + Masterclock bus output is implemented via the 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 affected by external factors. The CD mechanism has an improved aluminum alloy clamp. It is perfectly balanced and ensures 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 pivoting disc are made of 100% natural carbon fiber.
