The developers themselves call the top CD transport Primare DD35 the best in the company's history. The player is equipped with a TEAC CD 5020A-AT CD drive. The player is equipped with digital outputs of coaxial and optical type. There are all the necessary auxiliary connectors on the back of the player — inputs/outputs of a 12V trigger and an external IR sensor, as well as RS-232.
CD35 Prisma is a full-fledged digital media source that provides CD playback, storage and playback of streaming music content, as well as wired and wireless connectivity and management capabilities. A state-of-the-art dedicated CD drive provides jitter-free digital signal transmission to a brand new DAC platform that uses the excellent eight-channel ESS Sabre chipset to convert this signal to analog and deliver it to a precisely tuned output stage.
The separate compact CD transport PRIMARE DD15 is in a sense a simplified version of the PRIMARE CD 15. Without a built-in digital-to-analog converter and the ability to control via a connection, the DD15 is equipped with the same Philips CDM-M10 slot-type CD drive as the CD15, which is also well insulated from external vibrations.
Each of the main CD35 Prisma nodes, whether it's a CD drive, a DAC, an output stage implementation, or a network module with support for Prisma technology, combines all possible advantages.: compatibility, versatility of interaction and ergonomics, which rightfully makes this source the absolute leader among Primare digital music players.
