The Primare DD15 is a dedicated CD transport designed for high-fidelity digital audio playback. It features a low-resonance Philips slot-load CD drive for reliable, vibration-resistant operation, custom linear power supply with switch-mode standby (off during playback to minimize noise), and low-noise coaxial and optical digital outputs supporting 16-bit/44.1kHz PCM audio from audio CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs (12cm discs only; no SACD, DVD Audio, or Dolby Digital/DTS). Compact 15 Series design pairs perfectly with SC15 Prisma preamp/network player or I15 Prisma integrated amp. Includes OLED front-panel display, C25 remote control, and control ports for system integration. Scandinavian minimalist aesthetics in black or titanium finishes.
