PRE35 DAC DM36 – Modular preamplifier and digital to analogue converter

PRE35 DAC combines the NEW DM35 digital to analogue converter stage with the PRE35 balanced stereo preamplifier, featuring fully balanced analogue preamplification circuitry, and modular construction allowing for installation of the SM35 Prisma network player module at any time.

Technology
PRE35 DAC DM36 modular preamplifier is an exceptional system control centre, providing unprecedented low noise and distortion free selection and transmission of any analogue input, as a result of the carefully crafted fully balanced circuit design benefitting from the use of a four layer main board to achieve the shortest possible signal path.

In addition to comprehensive input and output options, featuring both XLR and RCA connection, the PRE35 DAC includes the DM36 full-featured DAC stage enabling up to PCM 384kHz/32bit and DSD 256 conversion, and due to its modular design also allows for the Prisma network player module, SM35, to be added to the amplifier at any time for unprecedented system customisation.

Additionally, the DM36 DAC module includes full MQA processing. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download.

With the DM36 module installed, PRE35 Prisma includes WiSA high resolution wireless speaker connectivity with WiSA enabled high performance powered loudspeakers, and is a feature unique to this high-performance preamplifier.

The look and feel of Scandinavia
Primare believe that every aspect of their 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 their signature control knob, known throughout the industry for both its appearance as well as how it feels in the hand as an input is selected or volume adjusted. – or as they say lagom, not too much not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.

Modular Design and System Building
Primare's 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, they 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 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.
