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.
The PRIMARE CD15 CD player is equipped with a Philips CDM-M10 slot-type CD drive and an AKM AK4490 24-bit digital-to-analog converter with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz, which can process signals up to 384,000 Hz (PCM) and DSD128. The player supports the main standards MP3, CD, WAV, PCM, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, MP4 (AAC), WMA, OGG and DSD.
