Look inside
Every part has a job
Primo Plus was designed from scratch around cleaner power, lower noise and a more precise clock. Pick a part to find it on the board.
Sound
Tune it to your system
Eight filters, or none
Pick one of eight digital filters to fine-tune the sound, or switch to NOS mode to turn oversampling off.
Eight output levels
Match the input of any amplifier. Or use the built-in volume control and connect Primo Plus straight to a power amp.
