The stunning I32 is designed to provide high power output with very low distortion and system control for Primare’s 30 series range of hi-fi separates. UFPD power technology's instantaneous rise time results in a naturally fast, clean and agile sound over a much wider frequency range and with exceptional headroom. Ecologically the I32 is far superior to conventional Class A/B designs being extremely efficient without generating excessive heat. In addition it provides a special eco-friendly standby mode of just 0.2 W.
The option of a MM30 upgrade board that offers MEDIA/streaming connections such as USB, iPod, LAN etc is also available.
The MM30 multimedia upgrade module adapts the EISA award-winning I32 integrated amplifier for audiophile streaming, internet radio and gapless audio playback, through integration with UPnP devices such as PC/Mac/NAS iPod®, iPad®, iPhone® or USB thumb drive.
It’s a genuine 24/192 DAC board including coax, TOSLINK, USB-A and USB-B inputs (incorporating an asynchronous master clock for low jitter), and a high resolution coax output.
In addition the MM30 can itself be enhanced with a high quality aptX Bluetooth option. DAC upgrades from certain brands are known to interfere with the analogue output causing a noticeable deterioration in sound quality however with Primare design philosophy, the digital and analogue signal paths within the Primare media upgrade have their own dedicated ground planes; a design feature which protects the purity of the analogue signals.
