Award-winning and innovative amplifier technology

The amplifier technology in the Primare i35 Prisma is based on UFPD2, a fully analog Class D amplifier developed by Primare. This technology is an upgrade of the original UFPD technology, which is known for its high performance and outstanding sound quality. UFPD2 is simply superior to its predecessor in every area, and the sonic improvements are quite striking. With UFPD 2, the Primare I35 Prisma takes a big step up the ladder in terms of sound quality.

What makes UFPD2 unique is that it combines the advantages of Class D amplification (high efficiency and low heat generation) with the advantages of Class A/B amplification (low distortion and high sound quality). UFPD2 is also capable of delivering incredible current, even at low impedances, which means it can drive even the most demanding speakers with ease.

Another major advantage of UFPD2 technology is its ability to reconstruct the signal accurately and precisely, resulting in very natural and detailed sound. This is because UFPD2 can reconstruct both positive and negative signals accurately, which is a major advantage compared with other Class D amplifiers that often struggle to reconstruct negative signals precisely.

Finally, UFPD2 is also known for its high stability and reliability, which is crucial for maintaining high performance and sound quality over time. Overall, the UFPD2 technology in the Primare i35 Prisma is an impressive amplifier technology that combines the best of both Class D and Class A/B amplifiers and delivers incredible sound quality and performance.

A sublime DAC for ultimate sound quality

The DM36 Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) module, which is integrated into the Primare i35 Prisma, is a high-quality DAC designed to convert digital signals into analog signals with high precision and a high level of detail.

The DM36 DAC module uses an ESS ES9068A DAC chip, known for its high precision and sound quality. This DAC chip is capable of delivering high resolution of up to 384kHz/32bit PCM and DSD256, providing a high degree of detail in the music. The new DM36 module also supports full MQA playback.  

In addition, the DM36 DAC module also has a dedicated clock that ensures precise timing of the conversion process. This is important because it helps reduce jitter, which can cause distortion and degradation of sound quality.

Finally, the DM36 DAC module is also designed to minimize noise and distortion, ensuring that the music is reproduced with great accuracy and clarity. Overall, the DM36 DAC module is an excellent addition to the Primare i35 Prisma, ensuring high-quality digital-to-analog conversion and impressive sound quality. Another advantage of the DAC module is that it also allows you to connect your TV and other digital sources.

Streaming module with the full streaming package

The SM35 Prisma streaming module, integrated into the Primare i35 Prisma, allows users to stream music wirelessly from various sources, including popular streaming services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, etc.

The SM35 Prisma module is exceptionally versatile and provides access to millions of tracks, which can be enjoyed in high quality thanks to Primare’s advanced technology. The SM35 Prisma is equipped with a range of digital and analog inputs, making it easy to connect and integrate a wide variety of other devices and sources.

The SM35 Prisma also supports a range of different audio formats, including Hi-Res Audio, which means you can enjoy music in much higher resolution than CD quality. The module is also DLNA-compatible, which means it can stream music from other devices on your home network.

The SM35 Prisma has a user-friendly app that can be used to control the streamer and customize the settings. You can also use a third-party app if you prefer. The SM35 Prisma can even be controlled via voice commands with the help of Amazon Alexa.
