Priced at $849 (all prices USD), the StreaM Box S2 Ultra is a versatile piece of kit that Pro-Ject describes as an “audio-optimized network bridge and USB detox device.” This Lilliputian component, only 4.1” square by 1.5” high, has built-in client software for Qobuz, Spotify, and Tidal -- it can be used to stream music from any of those services.
Since most DACs only have one USB input, Pro-Ject designed StreaM Box S2 Ultra also to be a "USB detox device" which eliminates noise from the data stream. Simply connect your PC to the micro USB input of the unit and connect your DAC to the audio output.
You can add streaming services to the StreaM Box S2 Ultra by selecting My Music in Pro-Ject Play’s Settings menu. In the following screen, you can add a network drive (if that’s where you store music), and enter login information for Qobuz, Spotify, and Tidal.
Something the StreaM Box S2 Ultra does not have is a built-in DAC; it’s a digital source component. Its only output connector is a USB port, for connection to a USB DAC. It can output PCM audio to 32-bit/352.8kHz, and up to DSD256.
Pro-Ject StreaM Box S2 Ultra offers modern connectivity with its network inputs and USB A output. This USB output is perfected for audio signals, it uses a dedicated internal power supply and only top audiophile grade components.

The incredible success of Pro-Ject's Phono Box Ultra 500 urged Pro-Ject to introduce this marvelously sounding phono preamp into its regular S2 line. The solid metal casing protects against interference and the internal design remains as spectacular as before, sharing its critical circuitry with the critically acclaimed Ultra 500.
Excluding OpAmps from the circuitry is just the beginning of the build. Pro-Ject also employs polystyrene capacitors in the S2 Ultra for the highest performance vinyl playback. These capacitors are known among audiophiles as the holy grail for phono preamplifiers.
