Bring your CD collection down from the attic and experience it through your favorite DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD Box DS3 is a truly high-end CD player, purpose-built to deliver the best possible CD playback. The slot-load CD transport mechanism is specifically designed for 1:1 playback of compact discs and is controlled by the best servo mechanism around: the Blue Tiger CD-80 from StreamUnlimited. This is the same mechanism used in Pro-Ject's reference CD Box RS2T transport. The combination of this premium transport and servo allows for precise reading of the compact discs with minimal errors resulting in better sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital to analog conversion is handled by the exceptionally smooth Texas Instruments PCM1796 DAC. Lauded for its non-fatiguing yet immersive ‘analog’ character, the DAC and associated circuitry result in a true music lover’s player that can be enjoyed for hours on end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD transport’s suspension is designed to provide perfect protection from resonance, allowing for more accurate tracking of the laser. Three soft points isolate the drive from external vibration and one hard point dissipates high-frequency vibration (caused by the rapid movement of the laser) into the massive metal chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe massive aluminum chassis provides an optimal foundation for a sensitive CD drive. It also protects the drive from vibration and electromagnetic interference but resists bending and flexing much more effectively than a common stamped steel chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Pro-Ject DS series electronics, the CD Box DS3 is proudly handmade in Europe and is available in either black or silver colorways. Optional magnetic wooden dress panels are available in walnut, eucalyptus, and rosenut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Red Book CD player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Tiger servo board for 1:1 CD playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexas Instruments PCM1796 DAC chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent suspension for resonance dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-contrast dot-matrix display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrigger in and out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid aluminum housing protects against interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorsion-free cabinet for optimum CD drive isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote control included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic wood side panels available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Outputs: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 x optical, 1 x co-axial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x stereo RCA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAC Chip:\u003c\/strong\u003e PCM1796\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.6\" x 8.1\" x 2.8\" (194 × 206 × 72 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.65 lb (1.66 kg)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48554306404536,"sku":"CDBOX-DS3 BLK","price":899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48554306437304,"sku":"CDBOX-DS3 SIL","price":899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/CD-Box-DS3-black-frontcopy.jpg?v=1741629615","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/pro-ject-cd-box-ds3-transport-dac","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
