In fixed output mode it is a complete disc, stored and streamed digital media source for even the finest system, and in variable output mode it serves as both source and control center for a powered speaker based system.Additionally, the modular design allows for the possibility of adding new modules and features as they become available.Prisma – Network and Multiroom TechnologyPrisma is a bundle of technologies that provide the broadest range of network music player features and functionality. Essentially created to be a streamer that would allow everyone, and everywhere, in the household to explore, discover, and share the deeply satisfying experience of high-performance music playback – Prisma provides multi-room/multi-zone connectivity and control of stored and streamed media, whether wired or wireless, all managed from mobile devices through the dedicated Prisma system control app.In addition to AirPlay 2, Bluetooth®, Roon Ready, and Spotify Connect®, Prisma features Chromecast built-in, a unique streaming portal allowing 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 ScandinaviaWe 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 approachable and easy to understand functionality.An example of this is the compact, essentially three-quarter sized, of the 15 series, cabinets creating the sense of perfect proportions being just right for allowing placement within any living environment – or as we say lagom, not too much not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.Modular Design and System BuildingWe feel it is essential to offer modularity whenever possible in order to have just the right features, both now and for the future. Modular design is featured in the I25 and I35 modular integrated amplifiers, as well as the PRE35 modular preamplifier, all of which can be updated with DAC and Prisma modules, as well as the CD35 CD player that can have the Prisma module added, either at the time of purchase or at a later date. As a result, we are able to offer a carefully considered array of models and configurations in order 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 analog 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 analog or digital source.TECH SPECSCD Transport TEAC CD 5020A-ATDAC ESS Sabre ES9028PROXLR 1 x stereo pair analog outputRCA 1 x stereo pair analog outputRCA 1 digital outputToslink 1 digital outputC25 remote IR system controlIR input 3.5 mm in/out12V Trigger 3.5 mm in/outRS232 outboard system control portPrisma control and connectivityUSB 1 digital inputEthernet x 2WiFiAirPlayBluetoothChromecast built-inSpotify ConnectRoon ReadyDimensions 430 x 385 x 106 mm with buttons and connectorsWeight 10.8 kgFinishes black or titanium
At US$3,446, this is a bit ambitious versus the used market: I’m seeing a second-hand ask of about US$2,150 for one listed in Europe, while new pricing is around US$3,850–US$4,000 depending on retailer, so this sits much closer to new than to normal used value. That makes it hard to call a bargain unless the condition is exceptional and the package is unusually complete.
As a buy, the appeal is real: it’s a top-tier CD player plus network streamer with Primare’s Prisma platform, a respected ESS Sabre DAC, balanced outputs, and the kind of clean, refined presentation that suits serious digital systems. If this one is genuinely pristine, includes the remote and original box, and comes from a careful owner, it’s a nice score for someone who wants one-box convenience without stepping down in sound quality.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Primare traces its origins to 1985, when Danish industrial designer and audiophile Bo Christensen, frustrated by the era's cluttered audio gear, founded the company alongside engineer Bent Nielsen. Born in Denmark as Primare Systems AB, it embodied a mission for exceptional sound quality, elegant Scandinavian aesthetics, precise proportions, and intuitive interfaces. Rejecting the industry's short product cycles, Primare pioneered "living products" designed for longevity and evolution, with its debut 928 series—now exhibited in Copenhagen's Designmuseum Denmark—setting a minimalist benchmark against button-heavy contemporaries. A 1993 partnership with Swedish firm Xena, involving Lars Pedersen, propelled the influential 30 series in 1998, cementing its design legacy while shifting manufacturing to southern Sweden.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity separates, excelling in integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, network streamers, and DACs that handle analog, digital, wired, and wireless sources with balanced precision. Iconic lines like the 200, 300, and ongoing 30 and 15 series prioritize simple circuitry and modular upgrades, from tuners and Blu-ray players to modern computer audio solutions, always favoring functionality over gimmicks.
Primare occupies a premium mid-to-high-end niche, revered by discerning buyers for its honest integrity, timeless Scandinavian design, and deeply satisfying performance that endures across decades. Award-winning components, such as the EISA-honored CD32/I32, deliver audiophile purity without ostentation, positioning Primare as a practical choice for those seeking lasting quality over fleeting trends in a market craving authenticity.
