Every component of the D30.2, from the CD transport to the audio output stage, has been designed to achieve the highest possible audio performance.

The Primare D30.2 Compact Disc Player uses an advanced Sony transport mechanism. A precision crystal clock oscillator is used to ensure low jitter, for excellent audio performance.

Digital to analogue conversion is performed by four Burr-Brown PCM1704 D/A converters. The analogue signal path is fully balanced in order to retain the accuracy of the digital signal and make the signal highly resistant to interference. The D30.2 also provides a gold plated S/PDIF output for direct connection to a digital system.

The Primare D30.2 Compact Disc Player uses separate isolated power supplies for the digital and analogue circuits, for maximum isolation. The result is an extremely high signal to noise ratio, allowing you to take full advantage of the dynamic range possible with CD.

The Primare D30.2 is designed to ensure very low mechanical noise and electromagnetic interference for extremely accurate tracking of the disc. This ensures that the digital signal is free from errors, so it is converted into an audio

signal as close to the original as the basic principle allows. The front panel design isolates the display circuitry from the audio circuitry to avoid interference.

In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the D30.2 can be controlled through a very simple and intuitive interface, designed so that it will not distract you from the pleasure of listening to music on your system.

In fact, most of the features of the D30.2 can be accessed through just seven front panel push buttons. The full set of functions, including scan and programming, is available using the remote control supplied with the D30.2. Alternatively, all the functions of the D30.2 can be controlled by the optional C30 Remote Control, along with the other Primare components in your system.
