The Primare CD35 Prisma CD Player is an award-winning full size modular CD player of extraordinary capabilities. A state-of-the-art low resonance dedicated CD drive and sophisticated digital to analogue converter stage, the CD35 Prisma is a capable CD player.
Technology
Each component part of Primare CD35, including the drive, DAC, and output stage, work together in balance and harmony. This contributes to what is the best CD player Primare has ever offered.
At the heart of CD35 is a state-of-the-art TEAC CD drive supplying a jitter-free digital signal to an all-new DAC. This utilises a superb sounding eight channel ESS Sabre chipset to convert that signal to analogue for delivery to a finely tuned output stage.
Its modular design allows for the addition of a Prisma network connectivity and control technology module, SM35, at any time.
Prisma – Network and Multiroom Technology
Prisma is a bundle of technologies that provide the broadest range of network music player features and functionality. A streamer that allows everyone in the household to explore, discover, and share high-performance music playback, Prisma provides multi-room/multi-zone connectivity. Stored and streamed media, whether wired or wireless, are all managed from mobile devices through the Prisma system control app.
In addition to AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Roon Ready, and Spotify Connect, the CD35 Prisma CD player features Chromecast built in. This allows effortless direct connection to hundreds of streaming applications 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 easy to understand functionality.
An example of this are the control buttons, carefully crafted to provide the best tactile sense when used. Not too large or too small, too soft or too stiff, the Primare CD35 CD player uses ‘lagom’ design principles. This means not too much or too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.
Modular Design and System Building
For Primare, it is essential to offer modularity whenever possible to have the right features, both now and for the future. Modular design features in the I25 and I35 modular integrated amplifiers, as well as the PRE35 modular preamplifier.
All of which can be updated with Prisma modules, as well as the CD35 CD player. You can add the Prisma module either at the time of purchase or later.
As a result, Primare offer a carefully considered array of models and configurations to allow for device selection that best fits any system need. For example, a CD35 with Prisma module installed can be paired with an I35 integrated amplifier, allowing for a separation of analogue and digital stages.
Or an I35 with DAC and Prisma modules installed can be paired with a DD35 CD transport, allowing for multi-room and multi-zone playback of every input, whether analogue or digital source.
