Project Head Box S USB

It's no secret that ProJect design and engineer some of the most critically acclaimed
turntables and turntable accessories in the market. In an effort to prove themselves in
other aspects of hifi, ProJect have released their 'Box Design' series; a collective of
amplifiers, CD players, iPod docks and more - all of which exist in astonishingly compact
cabinets. These compact units can be combined with dedicated shelf cabinets to form a
tidy mini-system appearance while retaining the quality and 'ease-of-upgrade' of hifi
separates.

Project's Head Box S USB utilises the same audiophile standard preamp as its
counterpart; the Head Box S. This unit, however, benefits from the addition of an
integrated USB DAC. This small and compact unit is ideal for office/desk operations
where headphones and private PC listening may take priority. The DAC within the unit is
of a high-quality standard and converts your favourite digital music straight from your PC
or laptop, while the amplifier section of the Head Box S USB powers your headphones to
the best of their ability in order to truly appreciate this high-quality D/A conversion.

Who is Project?

Project started in the hifi business designing and manufacturing affordable stereo

turntables in the early 1990s, beginning with the entry-level Debut model. It was a great
success as all other turntables on the market at that time were at least £100 more
expensive, without offering a performance benefit. Project has gone on to extend the
range of turntables they offer at all popular price points and performance levels, through
midrange to high-end models.
