Primare DD15 CD Transport
The Primare DD15 is a compact, high-performance CD transport that brings pristine digital disc playback to any modern hi-fi system. Built around a dedicated Philips slot-load drive and engineered for low-resonance operation, the DD15 extracts maximum musical fidelity from your CD collection. Designed with the same Scandinavian elegance and functional clarity as the rest of the 15 Series, this sleek unit offers quiet precision and seamless integration into a variety of system configurations. For listeners seeking refined digital performance in a compact form factor, the DD15 is a standout solution.
Key Features
- Dedicated CD Transport: High-end Philips slot-load mechanism minimizes resonance and vibration.
- Low-Noise Digital Output: RCA and Toslink connections for clean transmission to your preferred DAC or integrated amplifier.
- Compact Design: Three-quarter width chassis matches other 15 Series components while maintaining elegant proportions.
- Versatile System Integration: 12V trigger, IR, and RS232 ports enable easy setup within complex systems.
- Scandinavian Design Philosophy: Aesthetic and functional harmony with minimalist, durable construction.
Engineered for Digital Purity
At the heart of the DD15 lies a dedicated slot-load CD mechanism designed specifically for high-fidelity digital audio playback. Unlike many transports that repurpose computer-grade drives, the DD15 uses a Philips mechanism selected for its low-resonance characteristics and precise disc handling. The result is reduced jitter and minimized mechanical noise, allowing your DAC to work with the cleanest possible signal.
Flexible System Building
The DD15 integrates effortlessly with the entire Primare 15 Series. Pair it with the SC15 Prisma network preamplifier or the I15 integrated amp to form a compact yet powerful digital system. Add the R15 phono stage for analog flexibility or combine with the CD15 Prisma when space and simplicity are top priorities. This modular approach allows listeners to tailor their system to both their sonic preferences and spatial constraints.
Form, Function, and Lagom
Primare’s Scandinavian roots shine through in the DD15’s elegant design and intuitive operation. Everything from the subtle curves of the front panel to the satisfying feel of the slot-load mechanism is crafted with a sense of balance—what the Swedes call lagom: not too much, not too little. It’s this commitment to functional beauty that makes the DD15 a pleasure to use every day.
