The CD Box DS3 is a dedicated single-disc CD player from Pro-Ject built around a slot-load transport and a Texas Instruments PCM1796 DAC. Its StreamUnlimited Blue Tiger CD-80 servo is the same mechanism used in Pro-Ject's reference RS2T transport, and the drive sits on a three-point soft suspension inside a heavy aluminum chassis. Outputs are RCA analog plus optical digital, with no coaxial out and no headphone jack. It suits listeners with a large CD collection who want a simple, solid-feeling player feeding an amp or external DAC, and it competes with budget audiophile players on build and transport quality rather than on streaming features.
