Pro-Ject Stream Box DS (£699)

摘要

The market for network media streamers has expanded dramatically in the last 12 months and with it the number of units available to choose from. Although the process of buying high quality music via download is still somewhat lacking in choice, the advantages of well implemented network audio are becoming apparent to an ever wider circle of buyers. A happy combination of more effective user interfaces and greater understanding of networks amongst the general public has reduced the complexity of installation.No longer content with limiting itself to producing a bewildering variety of turntables, a few years ago Pro-Ject moved into amplification and other source equipment. The Box series comprises extremely compact amplifiers, DACs and iPod docks and larger 'half-width* units including CD players and monoblock amplifiers. The Stream Box adds high resolution audio streaming to the range, and is built into the larger of these two chassis types.
