CD BOX DS3 - A HIGH-END CD PLAYER.

The DS3 CD Box introduces our completely new DS3 line. We've taken the best features from its predecessors and added the Texas Instruments PCM1796 DAC to bring you the perfect CD player with all the features you really need. Easily control the CD player with the buttons on the front or the supplied remote control and the high contrast dot matrix display shows you all the relevant information you need to enjoy your favorite CDs.

Rigid aluminum case.

Standard sheet metal casings are not sufficiently torsion resistant or mechanically precise enough to mount a sensitive CD drive where the laser position has to be correct at all times. Our massive aluminum chassis provides the best base for the CD drive and our Blue Tiger CD-80 servo developed by Stream Unlimited is the most advanced on the market.

Suspension.

A perfect resonance derivative.

Three soft spots isolate the unit from external vibration and one hard spot conducts high and frequent vibration caused by the rapid movement of the laser in the massive chassis.

True Red Book.

Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA).

The drive is specifically optimized for 1:1 playback of the Red Book CDDA standard. Pure CD players are, in contrast to DVD or Bluray Disc players, often better at playing stereo CDs.

Analog and digital.

We provide you with both.

Use the internal TI PCM1796 DAC and connect your CD case with the RCA line output to any preamp. For added versatility, the coaxial and optical S/PDIF output can feed an external DAC.

Remote control.

A comfortable listen.

Easily control the CD case with the supplied remote. With the Control it RS/DS (available separately) you can control all your Pro-Ject devices with one remote.
