Rediscover the Magic of Compact Disc

While streaming continues to dominate modern listening, the compact disc remains one of the finest ways to enjoy high-quality digital audio. The ProJect CD Box RS2 Tube CD Player has been created for music lovers who still value their CD collection and want to hear it at its absolute best.

Combining precision digital engineering with the warmth of a balanced valve output stage, the CD Box RS2 Tube delivers a listening experience that is both technically accomplished and emotionally engaging. Featuring a top-loading Red Book CD mechanism, a premium PCM1796 DAC and dual E88CC valves, it has been engineered to extract every last detail from your favourite recordings.

Designed for Serious CD Listening

Unlike many modern CD players that simply add disc playback as another feature, the CD Box RS2 Tube has been purpose-built for one task;  reproducing compact discs with exceptional accuracy.

Its high-precision top-loading transport is housed within a rigid aluminium chassis that helps minimise vibration and reduce unwanted resonance. Combined with an advanced servo system, the player delivers stable, precise disc reading for consistently outstanding performance. 

The Warmth of Valves Meets Digital Precision

One of the standout features of the CD Box RS2 Tube is its fully balanced valve output stage.

Using a matched pair of premium E88CC valves, Pro-Ject has given digital playback a wonderfully natural and organic character. Vocals gain additional richness, instruments sound more lifelike, and recordings are presented with an effortless sense of space and musicality that encourages long listening sessions.

Rather than sounding clinical, the CD Box RS2 Tube combines impressive detail with a smooth, engaging presentation. 

Premium Connectivity

The CD Box RS2 Tube offers excellent flexibility for both traditional and modern hi-fi systems. Alongside high-quality RCA outputs, it features balanced XLR outputs for systems capable of taking advantage of fully balanced signal paths.

Digital optical and coaxial outputs are also provided, allowing the player to be used with an external DAC if preferred. This versatility makes it equally at home in existing reference systems or as the centrepiece of a new digital setup. 

Beautifully Engineered

Like the rest of ProJect's RS Series, the CD Box RS2 Tube has been built to an exceptionally high standard.

Its precision-machined aluminium enclosure not only looks superb but also contributes to the player's mechanical stability. The top-loading mechanism, magnetic puck and full aluminium remote control all reinforce the feeling that this is a component designed for enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship as much as sound quality.

Why We Recommend the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 Tube

We recommend the ProJect CD Box RS2 Tube because it proves that compact discs still have an important place in a high-end hi-fi system. It combines the precision of modern digital engineering with the warmth and musicality of valve technology, creating a presentation that is detailed, expressive and incredibly enjoyable.

What we particularly like is that it doesn't simply play CDs, it invites you to rediscover them. Albums you've owned for years reveal new depth and texture, making every listening session feel fresh. If you've invested in a quality CD collection, this is the kind of player that reminds you exactly why you did.

A Modern Reference for CD Enthusiasts

The ProJect CD Box RS2 Tube is more than a premium CD player. It's a celebration of physical media and a reminder that, when engineered properly, compact discs remain capable of extraordinary sound quality.

Beautifully built, wonderfully musical and engineered without compromise, it's an outstanding choice for anyone who wants to experience their CD collection at its very best.
