Pro-Ject CD Box DS3 CD Player

The CD Box S3 is a new miniature CD player from Pro-Ject. It’s just 206mm wide and a paltry 55mm tall, so is about as compact as you could wish to make a CD player. Inside is a high quality slot loading mechanism and the DAC chip is the TI PCM PCM5102 and the power supply is housed inside a separate ‘wall wart’. There’s a cute 1.54 inch colour display and naturally a remote control too.

It features both analogue outputs and a coaxial digital output so it can also be used as a CD transport.
