FS: Pro-Ject Headbox DS

[RochaCullen]

For sale is my Pro-Ject Headbox DS DAC and Headphone amp. This item can also be used as a basic preamp.

£200 Delivered.

I bought this unit to use in work, and due to a change in position since purchase, I do not get to listen to the unit anymore. The unit has had very little use, is in perfect condition and comes in original box with all accessories.

The DAC on this unit is fantastic, far surpassing some very expensive DACs I've had in the past.

The unit can take very high rez music input: 24-bit 192kz.

The spiel from the net:

• Audiophile grade headphone amp & 24bit D/A conversion
• 3 digital inputs: Asynchronous USB 2.0, S/PDIF, Toslink
• Special USB-2.0 driver for 24/192 (24/96 with USB1.1)
• Ultra low-noise semiconductors
• SMD technology for short signal paths
• Analogue output (RCA) for use as D/A converter
• Analogue input (RCA)
• Headphone socket (6,3mm jack plug)
• DC power supply (< 1 watt standby power)
• Metal case shields the electronics from vibrational and electromagnetic interference

Hi-Fi Critic, Recommended "It should be considered something of a bargain.."

"I Made comparisons using the headphone sockets of a good half dozen such amplifiers, ranging in price from £199 to over £1000, and in every case the sound was bettered by that from the Pro-Ject on a number of counts. Principally, the sounds it made simply flowed more naturally.

Principally, the sounds it made simply flowed more naturally.

Thanks Scott,

It is a lovely piece of kit, quite hefty for its size, and superbly finished. When I used it only as a DAC I was very impressed by its performance.

I've decided to put the amplifier up on feaPay.

Moderators can you please remove the add from this form. Thanks.
