It has no converter and no analogue outputs, so it feeds a coaxial or optical input on your existing amplifier or DAC and lets that handle the conversion. It is Roon Ready, which is worth noting because not every Prisma product is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModernises a system you like.\u003c\/b\u003e If the amplifier and speakers are right and only the source is dated, this adds streaming without replacing anything else in the rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRoon Ready, and the rest.\u003c\/b\u003e Roon Ready certification alongside AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect and Bluetooth covers essentially every way people play music now.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSmall enough to hide.\u003c\/b\u003e 143 x 36 x 125mm and 0.5kg, so it tucks behind or beside the existing gear rather than needing its own shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder the Hood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrisma network platform over Ethernet or dual band Wi-Fi, with Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth and UPnP.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial RCA and optical digital outputs with a selectable output rate of 44.1, 48, 96 or 192kHz at 24-bit, plus a USB-A input for local storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports PCM to 192kHz and 24-bit and DSD to DSD128, with MQA passthrough for Tidal Masters and DSD over PCM output for Roon Ready converters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHT Insider Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the money this is the cleanest way to bring a good older system up to date, and the Roon Ready certification puts it ahead of a lot of cheap streaming boxes. Be clear that it is a transport: the sound quality is set by whatever converter you feed, so a mediocre DAC downstream will limit it. It is also black only, which matters if the rest of your rack is titanium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Set the output rate to match what your DAC actually handles rather than leaving it on the highest setting. If the receiving converter tops out at 96kHz, sending it 192kHz means something in the chain resamples anyway, and you have less control over where that happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eType\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork player and streaming transport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConverter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone, digital output only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStreaming\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimare Prisma\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eServices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoon Ready, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, UPnP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCM 192kHz 24-bit, DSD128\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWAV, LPCM, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, DSD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet 10\/100, Wi-Fi 802.11 a\/b\/g\/n\/ac dual band\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\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x coaxial RCA, 1 x optical, selectable 44.1 to 192kHz 24-bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x USB-A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalogue outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrisma app, RS232\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\u003e143 x 36 x 125 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 3.6W in operation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\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":48400472277250,"sku":"PRI-NP5-BLK","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/4376\/1716\/files\/primare-streamers-pri-np5-blk-1255975064.jpg?v=1787872888","url":"https:\/\/www.customht.com.au\/products\/primare-np5-prisma-mk2-network-player","provider":"CHT Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
