Overview

Digital micro preamplifier & Audio optimized network bridge. Pre Box S2 Digital and Stream Box S2 Ultra mark a new era for Pro-Ject's S-series components. The improved aluminum case and board layout result in better shielding of electromagnetic interference.

For the very first time, Pro-Ject is using a dual mono configuration with the highest class D/A converters of ESS Sabre. Their flagship DAC-chip ensures the highest class audio in a small and affordable package. This DAC is capable of high-resolution audio up to 32bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512! Pre Box S2 Digital is also the very first of our devices to support hardware MQA unfolding. With organic polymer capacitors and thin-film miniMELF resistors Pro-Ject was able to create a tiny device that will blow away even much bigger components for a much higher price. With a total of eight digital filters, the sound can be shaped precisely to the listener's liking.

Stream Box S2 Ultra closes the gap, it offers modern connectivity with its network inputs and USB A output. This USB output is perfected for audio signals, it uses a dedicated internal power supply and only top audiophile-grade components. You won‘t run into file-support issues, as Stream Box S2 Ultra acts as a network bridge, bypassing the files directly to your digital to analog converter. Since most DACs only have one USB input, we have designed Stream Box S2 Ultra also to be a USB detox device. Simply connect your PC to the micro USB input of the unit and connect our DAC to the audio output. This way you can clean the noisy signal of your PC, while enjoying your music with it. Our new remote control iOS and Android App is based on an opensource project and has a large community behind it. This guarantees full support and future improvements.

Easy Peasy

I've been thinking of ripping my cd collection to a NAS and adding a streamer to my high end stereo for years, but the proliferation of standards and products put me off. I was a software engineer for 40 years, so I wanted something that was not a closed architecture like BlueOS. So I bought a Synology NAS and dppoweramp and ripped my collection to the NAS as FLAC. I wanted a DLNS streamer because that's an open-source protocol. I saw a lot of Buz about the S2 Ultra, but wasn't sure how 'easy' the install would truly be. I gotta tell ya, it was completely trivial (I did wired internet). The S2 found my NAS and my NAS found the S2 immediately. All I had to do was check a box on the NAS Media Server giving it permission to stream to the S2. Immediately, all my music was available on the S2. Plus scores of free internet radio stations and providers like Spotify and TIDAL. The convenience of operating the unit from a phone app is really nice. The quality of the S2 DAC, given its price is very good. The choice of multiple filters is nice. I thought this install would take hours and it took 10 minutes.
