CD Box RS2 Tube
High-End CD Player with Balanced Tube Output Stage
The CD Box RS2 Tube is the latest addition to the flagship RS2 series, combining a premium top-loading CD transport with a fully balanced tube output stage. Built around a precision Red Book CD mechanism and a high-end Texas Instruments PCM1796 DAC, it delivers exceptional digital playback with the warmth and musicality of vacuum tubes.
At the heart of the player is the new SUOS DM-3381 CD transport and BlueTiger™ CD-88 servo system, engineered to reduce jitter, vibration and unwanted noise. The fully balanced analog stage uses two premium E88CC tubes, adding natural harmonic richness and a more engaging listening experience.
