We try a range of headphones from the Beyerdynamic T1s and Grado’s RS1s to AKG’s K550s and the Pro-Ject is capable of a good level out of each of them. While it doesn’t have the outright transparency and resolution to make the most of the Beyerdynamics or Grados it doesn’t sound obviously overwhelmed in such company either. Verdict

There’s enough in the way of rhythmic drive and punch to allow Nirvana a pleasingly free reign while the DAC’s composure and organisation keeps enough of a grip on the various musical strands to keep things easy to follow and enjoyable. The Juke Box Highpower Supply is optionally available. It features up to 50% more peak power output, increasing dynamic and bass response. The true ground connection over a 3 pin power plug can dramatically reduce hum and noise under critical power conditions. From the Pro-Ject 1, all turntables - regardless of price - were made with the same basic principles:Inside, you will find the preamplifier itself. We chose the silver-coloured unit, and it looks incredibly sleek and classy. Aside from the unit, you’ll find an AC power adapter with a connected 58” DC cord, and three AC power plug inserts (EU/US/UK), instructions, and the unit’s user manual. The BT Box S2 HD is Pro-Ject's next generation, high-definition Bluetooth receiver, using latest technologies like Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX-HD for elevating your mobile Bluetooth listening to true Hi-Fi stereo levels. Leveraging the increased Bluetooth 5.0 range and transmission bandwidth the new and advanced aptX-HD codec sounds crisp, detailed, dynamic and excellent at all times, even if the Bluetooth connection quality momentarily drops. This avoids typical lossy compression artifacts of other codecs. Drawing on Pro-Ject Audio Systems decades long experience in designing and manufacturing analogue turntables and Hi-Fi electronics, the dedicated high-quality analogue output buffer stage in the BT Box S2 HD ensures that the connection to your amplifier and loudspeakers is as robust and solid as it can possibly get. It is the ultimate fusion of cutting-edge digital and traditional analogue design principles. Features One-size-fits-all phono stages are one of the best today since they are easy to set up. While there are a lot of phono amplifiers, the ideal option is a versatile model offering clarity, precision, and detail. And the model that can give you all of these is the Phono Box S2. The BT Box S2 HD features both a digital optical output and an analogue RCA output, allowing you to easily integrate the Bluetooth receiver into your system. Stream your music from any Bluetooth enabled device with high quality aptX HD, with up to an extended 10m range. Project BT Box S2 HD Bluetooth Receiver features

Now, we will focus on the key features of the preamplifier, here in our Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 review. Audiophile-Grade Phono Amplifier Now, we will focus on the design and functions of the preamplifier in this part of our Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 review.Leveraging increased Bluetooth 5.0 range and transmission bandwidth the new and advanced aptX-HD codec sounds crisp, detailed, dynamic and excellent at all times, even if the Bluetooth connection quality momentarily drops.

Setup is a relatively straightforward affair. An ethernet connection is effectively plug and play while wifi setup requires a short routine in the app to configure the unit with your home router. The latter method took a couple of attempts to complete successfully, though this is more likely as a result of a temperamental router in my home network than any failings with the Pro-Ject. When the S2 is connected to your system, audible prompts are then sent to indicate that the setup is successful or otherwise. I had one of these delivered yesterday to replace an old Yamaha amp. I'm all about the space savings at the moment. TV was previously connected to amp via additional Bluetooth receiver. Cannot get the TV to find the amp via Bluetooth. It sports the new S2 style housing made from a combined metal and aluminium construction. This element doesn’t only provide outstanding aesthetics, but it also protects the unit from unwanted vibrations and electromagnetic interferences. The Phono Box S2 features a robust all-metal chassis and of high-quality for its price tag. It has a power button and a large grounding post for the tonearm cable’s spade terminations.

The Pro-Ject BT Box S2 HD is a Bluetooth receiver of the next generation, so Pro-Ject Audio Systems characterizes the latest offspring of the Pro-Ject Box Design S2 series, which is now available. The bass sounded more life-like, and the richness was optimised further. Of course, despite the enhancement, we didn’t experience any overpowering bass, and that was something impressive. The power supply is, as already indicated, via an external power supply unit, whereby the connection for this is implemented in the form of a micro USB interface and is thus also designed for 5V. The matching power adapter in the scope of delivery supplies 5 V 1,000 mA DC. Pro-Ject BT Box S2 HD – Audiophile wireless streaming State-of-the-art digital technology and traditional analog design principles. The case also comes with matte sandpaper feel while its faceplate is crafted from brushed aluminium. Do note that the area is only visible as a brushed portion when your lighting is near perfect. It offered us a warm midrange, and its detail gave us an amazing listening experience that showcased the capabilities of the Phono Box S2.

Heinz’s belief in the importance of the turntable came to prominence duringa time when vinyl was at death’s door - with the CD revolutionising the wider audio market. However, Heinz stood firm and argued the case for not only analogue replay - but also for the pride and sense of ownership and interaction you simply do not get with digital media. So with this belief, he produced his first turntable - the Pro-Ject 1. The manual has no mention of putting it in a pairing mode (as you have to do with everything else). Although the unit is small, it feels solid, durable, and reliable. Also, it can accommodate the largest RCA plugs. Specifications Bluetooth alone is supposed to be used here to transfer music streaming, for example, directly from the smartphone in hi-res audio to an audio system, whereby the manufacturer itself even speaks of an audiophile solution. Pro-Ject BT Box S2 HD – An offspring of the Pro-Ject Box Design S2 series Our experience with the Phono Box S2 was great. It delivered subtle yet fantastic audio, which proves that it’s an upgrade from the previous Phono Box S. All of these were more than what we had expected from a low-budget phono amp.

You’ll also find the product’s features listed in front, which is essential if you’re purchasing it from a physical store.

Whether you use MC or MM, this phono amplifier delivers a vast range of input settings for optimising its performance. Additionally, it has a switchable subsonic filter that keeps your speakers and amplifier protected from low-frequency rumble. The initial impressions we had was that the Phono Box S2 is an incredibly capable device. We dropped on some vinyl and cranked it up. Tap on Settings, tap on Bluetooth, turn on Bluetooth. Your device will automatically start searching for available devices. Tap on "Stereo Box S2 BT" and confirm by pressing Input button on Stereo Box S2 BT when the blue LED of input 3 is blinking.”One has trusted here on all the experience in the development of electronic components and selected an analog output buffer stage, so that the connection to amplifier and speakers is as robust and solid as it can be. Spotify Connect is supported alongside Tidal via Pro-ject’s Stream S2 app, while radio fans are also catered for via iHeart and TuneIn apps. Apple and Raspberry Pi users can use the Shairport support to connect their devices using AirPlay. Multiple steam boxes can also be stereo paired to drive an active speaker setup while avoiding unnecessary cabling, alongside multi-room support for 10 or six devices over ethernet and wifi. Up to 24-bit/192kHz data quality is supported on a single device and 16-bit/44.1kHz for multiroom applications. DLNA and UPnP are also both supported and as with the majority of Pro-Ject electronics, it is very compact, measuring just 37x103x122mm (HWD).
