Primare CD35 Prisma CD and network player black

CD35 Prisma – CD & Network Player

The CD35 Prisma is an award-winning all-in-one digital music media player, offering superior playback of CDs, stored and streamed digital music, with wired and wireless connectivity and control capabilities provided by Prisma network streaming technology.

Technology

Every component of the CD35 Prisma – the drive, the DAC, the output stage, the Prisma network player technology – works together in balance and harmony, helping to create what is simply the finest 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 feeds a jitter-free digital signal to a completely new DAC stage that uses a superb-sounding eight-channel ESS Sabre chipset to convert the signal to analogue and send it to a finely tuned output stage. regulated.

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

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

Prisma – Network and Multiroom Technology

Prisma is a set of technologies that provide the widest range of functionality and features of a network music player. Created primarily as a streamer that would allow everyone, everywhere, in the home to explore, discover and share the deeply satisfying experience of high-performance music playback, Prisma provides multi-room/multi-zone connectivity and control of both wired and wireless streamed and stored media, all managed from mobile devices via the dedicated Prisma system control app.

In addition to AirPlay 2, Bluetooth ® , Roon Ready and Spotify Connect ® , Prisma features Chromecast built-in, a unique streaming portal that allows for easy direct connection to hundreds of streaming apps and services, including voice control, for the best possible performance and user experience.

The look and feel of Scandinavia

We believe that every aspect of our products, the way 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, easy-to-understand functionality.

One example are the control buttons, carefully crafted to provide the best tactile feel when using them: not too big or too small, too soft or too hard, not too close or too far from the front panel surface, or as we say lagom, not too much and not too little, all in balance, proportion and harmony.

Modular design and system building

We believe it is essential to offer modularity wherever possible to get the right features, both now and in the future. Modular design is present in the I25 and I35 modular integrated amplifiers, as well as the PRE35 modular preamplifier, all of which are upgradeable with DAC and Prisma modules, as well as the CD35 CD player to which the Prisma module can be added, either at the time of purchase or at a later date. As a result, we are able to offer a carefully considered range of models and configurations to enable the selection of the device that best suits any system requirement. For example, a CD35 with the Prisma module installed can be combined with an I35 integrated amplifier, allowing separation of the analogue and digital stages. Alternatively, an I35 with DAC and Prisma modules installed can be paired with a DD35 CD transport, allowing multi-room and multi-zone playback of every input, both analogue and digital.
