Project Head Box DS Headphone Amplifier

Project Head Box DS

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.

The Head Box DS is Project's mid-range level headphone pre-amplifier within their Box Design series. This highly capable and well-respected headphone preamp allows any music enthusiast to truly enjoy every element of their music from the comfort and privacy of their own headphones.

The newly designed on-screen display means that the listening experience is fully controllable by the user and with the inclusion of a number of digital inputs, essentially any music source can be connected to and processed by the Head Box DS without a stitch. 

An analogue connection has also been added the Head Box DS, meaning that the unit can be used as an audiophile quality D/A converter for larger hi-fi systems.

Who is Project?

Project started in the hifi business designing and manufacturing affordable stereo turntables in the early 1990's, beginning with the entry-level Debut model. It was a great success, like 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.
