I haven’t seen or heard about this. The screen is OLED so I suppose burn in is possible but brown seems weirdAfter using the Pre Box S2 Digital for 6 months (24/7) the display shows problems. I use USB and have volume up (0 dB). All information is shown in 'white'. Two days ago this changed into 'brown'. When turning the volume knob ccw the digits shown are 'white', but the 0 dB and the USB icon in 'brown' stays. It looks as if the screen burnt in or something like that. Has anyone similar experience?

It’s in there somewhere!I don't see one for sale in the classifieds?
I’ve been reading through the forum but haven’t found an answer yet.
I have the PBS2 plugged into a Mac mini with an iFi power supply. The DAC remains on.
1. Is it supposed to remain on always?
After the computer goes so sleep, the DAC will not be recognized by the computer until I turn it off then back on.
2. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to have it be the default DAC on a Mac mini?

If you connect the DAC via USB an additional power supply is not needed.
Hello everyone ,
This is my first post here.
I've been using the Pro-ject pre box s2 digital for several months now , mostly for streaming Spotify and Tidal and especially the MQA content. (that's why I bought it)
Tidal MQA plays fine with the S2 doing the full decoding but I also have been experiencing the well known drop outs : billy gibbons - big bad blues / Santana - Africa speaks or when playing MQA playlists there's always a song in the list which drops out.
I read a post which sad this was because of tidal and it's only a problem with the newer albums ?
My current set-up is a windows desktop pc connected by usb to the S2 which is connected by rca to my amp.
I'm thinking of buying the Stream box S2 ultra to replace the pc and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the Pro-ject stream box S2 ultra and pre box S2 digital combo handle the MQA playback ?
Does it handle the MQA content better or the same , does it sound better than a windows pc ?
Hope you guys can give me some advice !
