Discover what makes Primo Plus our most advanced streamer yet.
Dual Mono ESS DAC Architecture
Primo Plus is engineered from scratch to take our acclaimed Primo to a whole new level, combining 2× ESS ES9039Q2M in a dual mono layout with upgraded OPAMPs, an ultra-low noise dual linear power supply, refined filtering, and a high precision clock that cuts jitter and lifts overall resolution.
Digital Connectivity Redefined
It also introduces a broader range of digital inputs for greater system flexibility. USB-C handles native high-resolution audio, USB-A supports external storage, while Optical, Coaxial, Bluetooth, and full network streaming cover every modern source with ease. With the latest Volumio OS optimizing the entire signal path, the result is a deeper soundstage, sharper imaging, and a more natural sense of presence. Primo Plus doesn’t just improve on the original. It elevates every aspect of performance.
Pure Signal Performance
Primo Plus is designed to extract the purest possible signal from your music, starting with a high-precision clock that keeps phase noise and jitter extremely low for a cleaner, more stable presentation. Its advanced power architecture uses LC filtering and dedicated regulation for analog and digital sections, preserving subtle detail and control.
Tailor Your Sound
You can shape the sound with 8 selectable DAC filters or switch to NOS mode for a more natural, unprocessed character. The fully balanced output stage maintains impressive channel separation, and the built-in volume control makes it easy to run Primo Plus directly into a power amplifier for a streamlined, high-performance setup.
Made for True Music Lovers
Primo Plus is made for people who simply love music and want a more expressive, more engaging way to hear it. Fans of the original Primo will appreciate how much more power and refinement it brings, while anyone building or upgrading a system will enjoy how easy it is to set up and use. The included remote makes everyday control from the moment you turn on the device.
Volumio Premium Built In
Primo Plus runs Volumio, the platform that brings streaming services, local files, CDs via an external drive, Bluetooth sources, and connected storage together in one smooth and unified experience. Access TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, HighResAudio, and your entire music library from a single, intuitive interface.
