The Pro-Ject DAC Box RS is a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to deliver high-quality sound reproduction. It utilizes dual Texas Instruments PCM-1792 DAC chips, supporting PCM resolutions up to 24bit/192kHz via asynchronous USB and is capable of processing double DSD signals up to DSD128. The device features two selectable digital filters that optimize frequency and phase, allowing users to tailor their listening experience. With a fully balanced audio circuitry, it maintains a frequency response from 20Hz to 50kHz (+0/-1dB), with total harmonic distortion (THD) measured at 0.005% for the solid state output and 0.25% for the tube output. It boasts a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 100 dB. The DAC Box RS offers various connectivity options, including two coaxial S/PDIF inputs, four optical inputs, one USB B input, one AES/EBU input, and one I²S input. Outputs include standard RCA, balanced XLR, and a clock output for synchronization with other Pro-Ject products. The unit's casing is built from anodized aluminum, ensuring durability while maintaining a sophisticated appearance. Additionally, users can switch between tube or solid state output options, making it versatile for different listening preferences. It stands out not only for its impressive technical specifications but also for its elegant design, catering to those looking for high fidelity in a compact form.
