CD / SACD players and transports — Primare CD35 Prisma

The CD35 Prisma is a CD player from Primare, sharing identical dimensions and weight with the standard CD35 while adding the brand's Prisma streaming platform directly into the chassis. The CD35 Prisma brings Primare's engineering approach to a comprehensive combined disc-and-streaming source.

Key specs that matter

At 430 x 385 x 106mm and 10.8kg, the CD35 Prisma shares identical physical dimensions and weight with the standard CD35, suggesting the added Prisma streaming functionality integrates within the same core chassis platform without requiring additional bulk.

Sound and use context

Expect the considered, musically engaging character Primare's broader Prisma platform is built around, combined with dedicated CD playback within a single, comprehensive source component sharing the standard CD35's chassis.

Pairing

The built-in Prisma streaming platform covers network sources directly, while the CD mechanism handles disc playback, and Primare's own amplifier catalogue sharing the same Prisma platform offers natural companion components.

Alternatives

Primare's own standard CD35 offers the same core platform without streaming functionality worth considering instead if network streaming isn't required for a specific system.
