The PRE35 DAC is a preamplifier with built-in DAC from Primare, built with comprehensive two-plus-three input connectivity. The PRE35 DAC brings Primare's considered engineering to dedicated line-level signal control with digital conversion built in.

Key specs that matter

Two balanced XLR inputs and three single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and one single-ended output, alongside the built-in DAC. At 430 x 106 x 420mm and 11.3kg, the PRE35 DAC maintains a manageable preamplifier chassis reflecting Primare's considered Scandinavian engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Given Primare's broader reputation for accomplished, considered electronics engineering, expect the PRE35 DAC to deliver a clean, transparent signal-handling performance with the built-in DAC covering digital sources directly.

Pairing

Primare's own power amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue, and built-in DAC covers digital sources directly.

Alternatives

Other manufacturers' comparable DAC-equipped preamplifiers offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare features at a similar price point.
