It is quiet, unfussy and it does not editorialise, which is exactly what you want from a source. The step up to the CD35 Prisma only makes sense if you also want it acting as the system's streamer, because the conversion and the transport are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e If your amplifier has balanced inputs, use them. The CD35's XLR output runs at roughly twice the voltage of the RCA output, which means less gain needed downstream and a quieter result at normal listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlayer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD player with balanced analogue output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTEAC CD 5020A-AT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESS ES9028PRO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc formats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD, CD-R, CD-RW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerformance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz to 20kHz, -0.3dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal to noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBetter than 110dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD plus noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 0.01%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalogue outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x balanced XLR at 4.4Vrms, 200Ω; 1 x RCA at 2.2Vrms, 370Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x coaxial RCA, 1 x optical Toslink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC35 IR remote, IR in and out, RS232, 12V trigger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModules\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSM35 Prisma module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional, retrofittable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhysical\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e430 x 106 x 385 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.8 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack, Titanium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarranty\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Primare","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48400831250690,"sku":"PRI-CD35-BLK","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":48400835805442,"sku":"PRI-CD35-TIT","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/4376\/1716\/files\/primare-cd-players-1255975024.jpg?v=1787873093","url":"https:\/\/www.customht.com.au\/products\/primare-cd35-cd-player","provider":"CHT Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
