Technology

All the components of the Primare CD35 Prisma – the drive, the DAC, the output stage, the Prisma network player technology – work together in balance and harmony to contribute to what is simply the best digital music player Primare has ever offered.

At the heart of the CD35 Prisma is a state-of-the-art dedicated TEAC CD drive that delivers a jitter-free digital signal to an all-new DAC stage that uses a superb-sounding eight-channel ESS Sabre chipset to convert that signal into an analog signal output to a finely tuned power amplifier.

Two output options are available. In fixed output mode it is a complete disc, stored and streamed digital media source for even the finest system, and in variable output mode it serves as both a source and control center for a powered speaker based system.

In addition, the modular design allows the ability to add new modules and features as they become available.

The look and feel of Scandinavia

Every aspect of our products – how they look, the satisfying feel of the controls – contributes to the overall experience of living with Primare. As a result, Primare products exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design – simple, elegant designs with accessible and easy-to-understand functionality.

An example of this is the control buttons, which have been carefully crafted to offer the best sense of touch when in use – not too big or too small, too soft or too stiff, nor too close or far from the surface of the front panel – not too much, not too little, all in balance, proportion and harmony.
