Prisma – network player and multi-room technology
The Prisma technology bundle was created to allow everyone in the household to explore, discover, and share the deeply satisfying experience of high-performance music playback – providing multi-room/multi-zone connectivity and control of stored and streamed media, whether wired or wireless, all managed from mobile devices with familiar streaming apps and a dedicated system control app.

Our design philosophy
Primare products embody the Scandinavian design ideal of lagom – that sense of not too much or too little, but just right; everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.

What are the differences between the original NP5 Prisma and the NP5 Prisma MK2 versions?

he NP5 Prisma MK2 network player is the latest evolution of Primare’s popular NP5

Prisma, a clever little device that provides complete Prisma network player control and

connectivity technology to virtually any system with a digital input.

The development of the new model was necessitated primarily by the AKM chip factory

fire, causing long-term disruption of the supply of the critical re-clocking chip at the heart

of the NP5 Prisma design that allowed for the selection of output sampling frequencies.

To continue to make available one of our most popular models with the minimum of

interruption, we have sourced a readily available SRC chip and redesigned the circuit to

maintain the performance of the original NP5 Prisma while allowing for:

· DoP (DSD over PCM) output as an available setting option when using Roon Ready and a DoP ready DAC.

· MQA passthrough allowing for Tidal Master and MQA files from a NAS to passthrough for higher resolution processing by a connected MQA capable DAC.

All other features and functionality remain the same as in the original version, with connection and control features that include AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect (including Spotify HiFi when launched), and a host of other features – making the NP5 Prisma MK2 more than ever the network player for everyone.

All future updates will be applicable to both the original NP5 Prisma and the new NP5 Prisma MK2 models, including much anticipated playback of Tidal Master files and Qobuz at full 24/192 kHz resolution.
