CD31 COMPACT DISC PLAYER USER GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Primare CD31 Compact Disc Player!
This chapter introduces you to its key features, and
explains how you can use it to achieve superb sound from
your CD collection.
Every component of the CD31, from the CD transport to
the audio output stage, has been designed to achieve the
highest possible audio performance.
The Primare CD31 Compact Disc Player uses an advan-
ced DVS mechanism. A precision crystal clock oscillator is
used in addition to the use of jitter correction Burr-Brown
DIR1703 to ensure low jitter, for excellent audio
performance.
Precision digital to analogue conversion
Digital to analogue conversion is performed by four 24
bit/ 96 Khz Burr-Brown PCM1704 of the highest selec-
tion, K-grade!
Interpolation  ltering is carried out by the excellent
DF1704. Circuits capable of true 24 bit input data and 96
Khz sampling rate.
Welcome to the CD31 Compact Disc Player
DAC´s are con gured in a truly balanced con guration
where each DAC uses its own current to voltage conver-
ter stage,  nished in a single ended output stage with an
active current source instead of, the more common, use of
passive resistors.
In addition to providing, the recommended balanced XLR
audio outputs the CD31 also includes unbalanced RCA
for analogue audio output.
For digital outputs there is a selection of three options,
RCA 75ohm (SPDIF), optical TOS-Link and the profes-
sional XLR 110ohm (AES/EBU).
