CD Box RS2 Tube
Experience the ultimate in high-fidelity audio with the CD Box RS2 Tube. Combining a precision-engineered CD transport, a fully balanced valve (tube) output stage, and a high-end integrated DAC, this player delivers exceptional sound quality, robust construction, and the tactile pleasure of physical media.

Exceptional Build and Acoustic Precision

Crafted with meticulous mechanical engineering, the CD Box RS2 Tube features an ultra-stable top-loading CD mechanism and advanced differential DAC circuitry. Every detail encoded on your Red Book CDs is reproduced with stunning accuracy. The valve-enhanced output adds a musical warmth, producing silky highs, rich midrange textures, and an immersive soundstage that draws you deeper into the performance.

Optimised for Pure CD Playback

At its core lies the SUOS DM-3381 Red Book CD drive, a high-precision mechanism housed in solid aluminium to minimise vibration and mechanical interference. Paired with the BlueTiger CD-88 servo system, it ensures flawless tracking and reduces read errors, delivering pristine digital data to the DAC for uncompromised audio fidelity.

Valve-Driven Analogue Output

The CD Box RS2 Tube’s fully balanced valve output stage employs two premium E88CC vacuum tubes. While the digital signal remains untouched, the analogue output gains warmth and natural musicality. Choose between balanced XLR outputs for superior noise rejection and clarity, or single-ended RCA connections for classic valve character without the need for balanced wiring.

Integrated DAC for Maximum Versatility

Equipped with a carefully selected DAC renowned for its analogue-like presentation, the CD Box RS2 Tube connects directly to any amplifier with RCA or XLR inputs. The integrated valve stage shapes the signal beautifully from digital to analogue. For audiophiles preferring external DACs, digital outputs remain available, offering complete flexibility.

True Red Book Standard Playback

Designed as a genuine Red Book CD player, the CD Box RS2 Tube delivers 1:1 playback, reading each disc exactly as encoded so every bit of original data reaches the DAC. With its valve output and hand-picked DAC, it recreates CD audio with an analogue-like warmth, making it the perfect way to rediscover your cherished CD collection.

  • Remote control included
  • True Red Book CD-DA drive in shock-proof mounting
