Description

The PRE35 DAC ingeniously combines the NEW DM35 digital-to-analog converter stage with the PRE35 balanced stereo preamplifier. It boasts fully balanced analog preamplification circuitry and a modular construction allowing the installation of the SM35 Prisma network player module at any desired moment.

Technology:
Serving as an exceptional system control centre, the PRE35 DAC DM36 modular preamplifier ensures unparalleled low noise and distortion-free selection and transmission of any analog input. Its meticulously designed fully balanced circuitry, crafted with a four-layer main board for the shortest signal path, guarantees exceptional performance.

Offering comprehensive input and output options with both XLR and RCA connections, the PRE35 DAC includes the DM36 full-featured DAC stage. This stage enables high-quality conversion up to PCM 384kHz/32bit and DSD 256. Moreover, the modular design allows the integration of the Prisma network player module, SM35, for unparalleled system customisation.

With the DM36 module installed, the PRE35 Prisma introduces WiSA high-resolution wireless speaker connectivity, specifically designed for WiSA enabled high-performance powered loudspeakers. This feature is unique to this high-performance preamplifier.

The Essence of Scandinavian Design:
At Primare, every facet of product design contributes to the overall user experience, reflecting the simplicity, elegance, and user-friendly functionality of Scandinavian design principles.

A striking example is the signature control knob, acclaimed in the industry for its appearance and tactile sensation when adjusting inputs or volume—a true embodiment of balance, proportion, and harmony.

Modular Design and System Flexibility:
Modularity remains a core tenet in Primare's design ethos to ensure the incorporation of optimal features for both present and future needs. This philosophy extends to models like the I25 and I35 modular integrated amplifiers, as well as the PRE35 modular preamplifier, accommodating updates with DAC and Prisma modules.

The CD35 CD player aligns with this modular approach, allowing for the addition of the Prisma module either during purchase or at a later stage. This adaptable range of models and configurations enables users to tailor their systems precisely. For instance, pairing a CD35 with a Prisma module alongside an I35 integrated amplifier permits the separation of analog and digital stages. Similarly, integrating an I35 with DAC and Prisma modules with a DD35 CD transport allows multi-room and multi-zone playback of various analog or digital input sources.
