A top-loading CD transport from Pro-Ject. It plays Red Book CD-DA and has no built-in DAC or preamp, so it sends digital audio to your own DAC through XLR (AES/EBU), optical, coaxial or HDMI (I²S) outputs.

THIS IS AN OPEN BOX PRODUCT AND MAY HAVE SOME COSMETIC BLEMISHES, PHOTOS COMING SOON, HOWEVER WE WILL SEND PHOTOS TO YOU BEFORE SHIPPING TO CONFIRM WITH YOU.

The CD Box RS2 T uses the StreamUnlimited CD-Pro 8 top-loading mechanism with the Blue Tiger CD-84 servo board. Pro-Ject says it is the latest in its line of top-loading CD transports.

Why you will love it

Transport only, by design

Pro-Ject says the CD Box RS2 T has no built-in converter or preamp electronics, so they cannot interfere with disc reading and you can use a high-end DAC of your choice.

Digital outputs are AES/EBU on XLR, optical (TOSLINK), coaxial (RCA) and I²S with master clock over HDMI.

Suspended CD-Pro 8 mechanism

The CD-Pro 8 has the servo system built into its aluminium body. The whole mechanism is suspended on a proprietary anti-vibration system to reduce the level of outside vibration reaching it.

Pro-Ject says the suspension uses a rigid carbon fibre plate, carbon fibre tubes, springs and silicone dampers, and that the cover and turntable platter are made of carbon fibre. The mechanism has an improved clamp made from a new aluminium alloy, and the disc is held by a magnetic clamp.

I²S and master clock

The HDMI connector carries I²S and master clock. Pro-Ject says its I²S connection is made for use with the Pre Box RS2 Digital only.

For any other DAC, use the AES/EBU, optical or coaxial output.

Display and remote

An LCD screen shows time, tracks and text where it is available. A new aluminium IR remote control is included.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

  • Have a DAC and want a dedicated CD transport
  • Want a choice of XLR, optical and coaxial digital outputs

  • Have a collection of standard CDs

Worth knowing

  • It plays Red Book CD-DA discs
  • The I²S output over HDMI is for the Pre Box RS2 Digital only
  • It is supplied with an outboard power supply

Build your system

Connect the transport to a DAC, then to an amplifier and speakers.
