New Head-Fier
I found somewhere that the device uses the same amount of power, no matter which PSU powers it. E.g. It doesn't matter if the ps will do 5v 2a....it will still only use 5 watts of power even though it is capable of 10w?
... so yes, you can use it.The specs are DC 5V / 1A.
Two questions:
1. So which setting in Tidal would you chose.... I would think passthrough "on" for hardware and software decoding done completely in the Pre Box S2 Digital, it should work with passthrough turned "off" as well with the Pre Box only doing the software side. I took a look at the Pre Box S2 Digital at RMAF 18 this year but they did not have any to buy at the show... just trying to get my mind around how the box works... thanks.
2. The RCA outputs, do they output MQA decoded signal?
Hello Demo. You may also like to check out this Google doc, which pulls together as much as we know about how to use the box.Two questions:

Great to hear! How are you using it? Headphones (which ones), external headphone amp? USB, optical? MQA? With / without PSU (I don't bother with external PSU - I find USB powering is just as good)?Had this impressive little thing for about a month now, and I love it!
USB powered to my laptop. Mainly using it to drive the K712 Pros and as a DAC for active speakers. I did test it with an external PSU and USB, but didn't notice any difference. It drives the AKG's very well without an external headphone amp, I'm usually more than fine with -20 to -30 dB volume.Great to hear! How are you using it?
