In addition to providing standard RCA audio outputs the CD21 includes a gold-plated S/PDIF digital output, an optical TOS-link, and advanced AES/EBU. CD21 COMPACT DISC PLAYER USER GUIDE No compromise power supply for the highest possible performance The Primare CD21 Compact Disc Player uses eight separate isolated power supplies for the digital, analogue circuits, and transport mechanism, for maximum isolation. For the analogue part, discrete and ultrafast regulation is used. The result is an extremely high signal to noise ratio, allowing you to take full advantage of the dynamic range possible with CD. Careful design for mechanical stability As with all Primare units, the CD21 Compact Disc Player is housed in an alloy heavy gauge steel chassis, which provides strength, rigidity, and screening, while being effective at damping vibrations from external sources. The front panel design isolates the display circuitry from the audio circuitry to avoid interference. 1 INTRODUCTION Intuitive user interface In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the CD21 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 CD21 can be accessed through just six front panel push buttons. The full set of functions, including scan and programming, is available using the remote control supplied with the CD21. Alternatively, all the functions of the CD21 can be controlled by the optional C22 remote control, along with the other Primare components in your system.
