DAC Box RS
The advanced DAC Box RS is a reference-class D/A converter for all kinds of digital stereo sound sources. It superbly acts as a superior USB audio interface for demanding computer audio, also features AES/EBU input and I²S interface for use with CD Box RS. For the engaged audiophile we provide full DSD capability (up to DSD128) over PCM. All inputs fully support 24/192kHz HD music data (optical inputs 96/24) in fully asynchronous mode.

The DAC Box RS incorporates a pair of the best audio grade DAC chips, PCM 1792, which only can be found in expensive high-end designs. 2 different digital filter settings are selectable to meet your favourite sound preferences. Additionally we realised that its also depending on customers taste and type of music/recording, what technology for the output stage is preferable. More warm and relaxed sounding with Tubes or Solid State Class A with limitless details and dynamics. The DAC Box RS has both options to select.

The whole audio circuitry design is ultra low noise and ultra linear with very low output impedance to avoid any negative interference with cables or pre-amps. Due to its class-leading audio performance DAC Box RS is an ultimate high-end bargain!

Hi-Fi Choice Recommend DAC Box RS

"The DAC Box RS manages to combine refinement and a sense of drive in a way that ensures that it doesn’t become overly bright or fatiguing while also not being soporific."

The RS line has been around for a few years now, stepping up the capabilities and materials with newer generations throughout this time. But one thing that has stayed true from the beginning is the solid, relaible and relatively reserved build; these devices fit aesthetically in almost any system thanks to a minimalist design, but also give a sense of peace of mind as to their quality thanks to a sturdy performance, whichever the model.

If you find your system lacking one aspect or another (CD input, a DAC or separate power supply etc), and are looking for a simply but audiophile solution, the RS line from Pro-Ject has you covered.

  • For DAC Box RS and Pre Box RS Digital units sold before October 2014 there is a firmware update available that adjusts the USB output settings. This update optimises the DAC to work as your main computer audio output device, if that's what you require. This update makes no change to the overall sound quality of the USB port.

    The download is available in the links below (DAC Box RS Firmware Update (220814)). When you download the zip file, there will be a PDF guide included to show you how to run the update. This is only possible on Windows machines with the Pro-Ject Drivers installed.
