They've got a 2 year warranty. If you bought it in the UK, then throw the serial number my way and I can check for you if you're not sure.
i understand that it would be better with the linear power supply, but as I stated, my 5v input is a little messed up and I have to use USB for power.
That being the case, my question is: Can I still use the S2 as a preamp if I'm just using USB? So can I do Computer USB > S2 > Power Amp without using the 5v? I could just try it, but I'm at work and my father is coming in from out of town tonight and I'd like to gift him a full stereo, which would mean removing my preamp (a Nakamichi integrated) out of my system and I don't want to be left without a (temporary) usable preamp.
John, I have just purchased the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital and I think the sound quality is amazing - when it works. I am having terrible problems trying to get the unit playing DSD with J River MC 26. It completely froze my PC twice and I had to do a complete ground up Windows 10 reinstall - twice. But I love the sound so much I keep trying. Am I wasting my time with JRMC? Is it compatible? I keep getting Windows 'does not recognise the latest USB unit' and will not load the driver. I sent the unit back to the supplier and they said it was working and sent it back. Can you help with any trouble shooting tips? It works for a few minutes and then the sound goes and the windows message pops up. Then it will not start again even after a restart. I have tried three computers and I have the same problem on each one. The only thing that keeps me going is that sometimes after an overnight 'rest' it is recognised by windows - for a few minutes. Help!Thank you, both Jarek and I are grateful you like our design - its nice to be able to design such affordable and high quality little boxes
Is a good idea to connect PreBox directly to the power amplifier without preamp? In other forum I've red it has flat sound, that with preamp or integrated amp it has much better sound. Have someone tried it?

I just bought an Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital and I noticed something strange. I'm using a Raspberry Pi model 3 and Rune (the newest version).
The strange thing is that while on Rune's display the DSD files are shown as DSD128, DSD256 or DSD512, on the Pro-Ject's screen they are shown at half resolution, i.e. DSD64, DSD128 or DSD256 respectively. Is anybody else experiencing this situation?
