no problem hear since a year!

It depends, there are products, which benefits from , to be picky at this Point, symmetrical connections and some not. When it comes to the discussions single ended xlr vs xlr, I prefer xlr because xlr is in its dimensions specified and RCA can vary some 0.x mm. Good xlr connectors are self cleaning on top...

output stage to Headphone or RCA to preamp. There is no digital out on the Prebox S2

maybe, I have a different point of view! Come on, MQA is a highly emotional thing. I don't discuss it. It makes no sense, as soon as the major record label all go to MQA, you only have the chance to go vinyl to prevent DRM. But this is another discussion...

left channel, maybe you, but read the last sides again, the overal culutre over here is very low level :-( cheers

I'm wondering! Lot of people refering about warmer or colder sounding DAC! What the heck is going wrong here? So many people over here laughing about the vinny lovers and the inaccuracy of this sound and now complaining about warmer and colder sound ing Dacs? Come on, the sound of a dac depends on the analogue stage and the power supply! Remember, a lot of people around here are discussing external powersupply. I have to say, I'm very frustrated by the art of discussion...

Maybe I'm not sinsible enough for those discribed isssues, but my S2 runs perfect and displays me wether I let the first step done by Tidal or if I let do the S2 all the work. If Tidal does the first step, MQA is displayed with a different color dot biside the MQA. The the S2 upsamples to the highest multiple Frequency. Both situations works absolute smooth. With 2.10 and 2.12. You have to realize that I'm an absolute analogue guy and using digital like that: hearing a new song- Shazam it. Right back in my car, I start my Tidal and play the Shazamed record via Tidal on my Mercedes Sounssytem. If it is good enough, it get a like and will be played on my music system at home. If I still like it then, I open my JPC (A German Online Record dealer)Accound and buy the vinyl if possible. My interest in Roon is: Sold for a number of years Meridian Sooloos as sales rep. I never lost the people behind Roon out of sight. Now, I'm waiting for the Roon Nuc to integrate my NAS with a lot of music 16 aswell as 24 bit into my sound experience. Having multiple choices to play around. I've tested Roon app on my mac without any problems via the S-2! cheers Armin

Fella55, this reflects my personel situation: Playing Tidal via PC and waiting for Roon Nuc. Acording to Pro-ject, the Prebox S2 digital is Roon approved Cheers

not objections, I've ment arguments!

I own both and like the Pro-Ject more, more Resolution in voice. Bass offer more definition and the „depth“ of the room gives you a better localization of the instruments. I use it as a sac and like the RCA connectors better then the 3,5mm one. My system is an integrated Amp from Einstein Audio-The Tune and as Speakers a 2-way hornsystem from Blumenhofer Acoustics- Genuin FS-2. now you can maybe understand my objections better

this is a battery pack to charge mobiles and pads. Mine offers 1A and 2.1A output with a capacity of12000mAh

Pro-Ject will come up with a batterypack in the near future. I'm now playing mine with great results, using a powerbank.

There is one thing more, I figuered out together with Tidal: If you let tidal do the MQA decoding, then you get this. It shows MQB Blue dot instead of pink and upsamples input to....

I used both of them: explorer 2 und the S2 as source into my Einstein Audio The Tune, the s2 is a bit more open+ more detailed. I can't compare the headfone out because of living in the Stax world

Please call your local dealer, there is an software update for the Dacbox DS2 available!
