2. Pro-Ject Stereo Box E

The Stereo Box E is an all-in-one solution for your hi-fi system. The circuit design is specifically made with real and authentic stereo listening in mind. While many modern affordable amplifiers often prioritize features over quality, the Stereo Box E ensures that sound quality is not compromised — the audio performance is at a level typically seen in much more expensive amplifiers.

The Stereo Box E features a fully analog preamplifier and power amplifier section, ensuring that no details are lost in the signal chain from input to output.

Seven input connections provide readiness for any source device. It includes a phono-RCA input for MM, MI, or high-output MC cartridges, along with two line inputs (e.g., for CD Box E).

You can also connect digital sources, such as your TV or CD transport, through the coaxial or optical S/PDIF input and take advantage of the Stereo Box E's excellent high-resolution DAC.

If you want to stream music from your phone, tablet, or computer, you can simply use the AptX HD compatible Bluetooth 5.0 input. The USB-C output on the back shares pure power to many modern streaming devices, meaning a separate power supply may not be necessary.

Listen privately to your favorite tracks with headphones or connect your speakers using 4 mm banana plugs — the low-distortion amplifier takes care of the rest, providing you with musical sound with lively characteristics. The Sub Out connection allows for adding a subwoofer, further elevating your hi-fi stereo system.

The Stereo Box E is available with carefully selected and matched components to make transitioning to true hi-fi stereo as easy and quick as possible. Want to listen to CDs or vinyl? We have set options where components, speakers, and cables are properly sized – and which can later be easily upgraded and expanded.
 

3. Pro-Ject Stereo Box S3 BT

As a perfect upgrade, it upgrades many digital source devices and is particularly suitable for inexpensive CD players, Bluray or DVD players when playing CDs, but also for satellite receivers etc.! With a linear layout and low output impedance it avoids negative interactions with cables or amplifiers. The DAC Box E is an audiophile tip at a low price due to its excellent reproduction quality! 

5. Pro-Ject Amp Box S3

The original goal of Atlas in developing the Element Achromatic RCA was to create an above-average, high-quality connection for beginners. And it seems they have succeeded. This latest Element cable features an improved specification – essentially matching the Element Superior from their previous product line, which has won numerous international awards and was one of their most successful products.

A stereo connection cable with a neutral, relaxing sound, it has proven to be an excellent foundation for further system enhancements. The Element benefits from their ongoing research and development and is equipped with their achromatic, non-magnetic RCA plug. The low-mass Achromatic plug features a solder-free, cold-welded connection that is optimized to create a coherent, continuous signal path.

The signal conductor is a fully shielded, high-quality OCC copper cable designed and constructed to provide maximum resistance to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), which can increase noise levels in poorly shielded cables. The result is a cable that offers a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage and nuanced detail reproduction without succumbing to the artificial brightness found in many budget cables.

The Element Achromatic delivers a neutral, soothing sound profile and has consistently proven to be an exceptional cornerstone for system development. Beyond the Element Achromatic, the Element range includes a variety of other analog connection options as well as complementary USB and digital connections and speaker cables.
