CD + tube = Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 – Built around the Suos DM-3381 top-loading pure Redbook mechanism mounted to rigid aluminium whilst clamping our discs with a cover plate and magnetic puck, the tracking servo of this CD player [£1'749] is Stream Unlimited's BlueTiger CD-88 system. A TI PCM1796 handles onboard conversion in fully differential mode for XLR/RCA analogue outputs buffered by E88CC triodes whilst coax and Toslink bypass it in pure transport duty. A switching adapter provides external power.
