Pro-Ject Releases Final Edition DAC Box RS with Exclusive Diamond ECC88 Tubes

The Pro-Ject Audio DAC Box RS Final Edition has just been unveiled, marking the culmination of the popular DAC Box RS series. This compact yet formidable DAC is equipped with two specially selected Diamond ECC88 tubes, each valued at nearly 200 euros. These tubes are said to elevate the sound quality to an entirely new level, offering listeners a rich and immersive audio experience. What's impressive is the meticulous selection of circuit components and the improved internal wiring. The analog stages are fully balanced, ensuring optimal signal integrity. For those who appreciate versatility, the tube output stage isn't mandatory; it can be engaged or bypassed with a simple press of a button on the front panel. This allows users to switch between the warm, relaxing character of tubes and the detailed, dynamic presentation of a Class A solid-state output. On the connectivity front, the DAC doesn't disappoint. It boasts an I2S input with Master Clock, a balanced AES/EBU input, optical Toslink, coaxial input, and a USB-B port. It handles PCM formats up to 24-bit/192kHz (24-bit/96kHz via optical) and DSD formats up to DSD128. At its core are two Texas Instruments PCM1792 DAC chips, renowned for their exceptional audio fidelity. Users can also select between two digital filters—steep roll-off or optimal phase—to tailor the sound to their preferences. For those looking to further enhance performance, the standard power supply can be swapped out for the optional Pro-Ject Power Box RS2. This linear power supply, based on a robust toroidal transformer, aims to minimize any potential interference, providing an even cleaner power source. The Pro-Ject Audio DAC Box RS Final Edition is now available in Europe with a recommended retail price of 1,199 euros. The optional Pro-Ject Power Box RS2 is offered at 999 euros. This release represents a significant step for audiophiles seeking top-tier performance with the flexibility to shape their listening experience.
