Primare CD35 CD Player

The Primare CD35 is a high-performance CD player engineered for serious music enthusiasts. It combines precision CD playback with a state-of-the-art digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), premium analogue output stages, and optional streaming capabilities, offering both exceptional audio quality and future-ready flexibility.

Description

The CD35 features a robust TEAC CD-5020A-AT transport mechanism that ensures smooth, accurate playback with minimal noise and jitter. At its core is the ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC, known for its high resolution, wide dynamic range, and extremely low distortion.

Designed with modularity in mind, the CD35 can be upgraded with Primare’s Prisma streaming module, which adds network audio features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Chromecast, and Roon Ready support. This means the CD35 can serve not only as a top-tier CD player but also as a comprehensive digital music hub.

The analogue output section features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections, with the option for fixed or variable output levels, allowing the CD35 to connect directly to power amplifiers or integrate with a preamp. Its discrete analogue stage and linear power supply contribute to its neutral, detailed sonic character.

Visually, the CD35 reflects Scandinavian design principles with clean lines, a solid chassis, and a choice of black or titanium finishes. Internally, its multi-layer circuit boards and surface-mount components help maintain short signal paths and reduce noise, ensuring clarity in playback.
