Replacing the previous DM35, the DM36 is a complete redesign built around the advanced ESS ES9068A chipset. It significantly improves resolution, detail, and realism, offering a larger, more three-dimensional soundstage. This module transforms your integrated amplifier or preamplifier into a world-class digital hub, capable of processing high-resolution PCM and DSD files with stunning clarity and musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced ESS Chipset:\u003c\/strong\u003e Utilizes the ESS ES9068A DAC chip for superior processing power, lower noise, and richer, more lifelike sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Resolution Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capable of handling PCM files up to 384kHz\/32-bit and DSD files up to DSD256 (11.2MHz).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMQA Processing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides full MQA processing capabilities, allowing for the final unfold of Master Quality Authenticated files for studio-quality sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive Connectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features 4 optical (Toslink) and 2 coaxial (RCA) inputs for up to 192kHz resolution, plus a USB-B input for computer connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes an RCA coaxial digital output that passes native digital signals or selectable 48\/96kHz output from analog sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePCM Up-Sampling:\u003c\/strong\u003e A new user-selectable option up-samples lower resolution signals (16\/44.1kHz, 24\/48kHz) to higher bitrates for improved conversion accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA Leap in Sonic Performance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DM36 represents a significant evolution in Primare's digital engineering. By moving to the ESS ES9068A chipset, the module delivers a sound that is more \"fleshed out\" and organic than its predecessor. Listeners will notice a richer tonal balance, improved texture in the midrange, and a more precise placement of instruments within the soundstage. Whether you are streaming via Prisma (requires SM35 module) or connecting a CD transport, the DM36 ensures you are hearing the full potential of your digital music library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFull MQA Unfold\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor subscribers of TIDAL HiFi and other high-resolution services, the DM36 is a significant upgrade. It supports full MQA processing, meaning it can perform the final \"unfold\" of MQA files up to 384kHz. This ensures that you are hearing the original master recording exactly as the artist intended, with all the timing and spatial information preserved. This feature integrates seamlessly with Primare's Prisma network player module (SM35) and compatible CD players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVersatile Connectivity\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DM36 turns your amplifier into a digital control center. With a total of seven digital inputs, you can connect virtually any source—from a TV and game console via Optical, to a high-end CD transport via Coaxial, to a dedicated music server via USB-B. The USB input is particularly robust, supporting the highest resolution files available today, ensuring your system is future-proofed for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCustomizable Upsampling\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to the DM36 is the ability to engage PCM up-sampling. This feature allows standard resolution audio (like CD quality) to be up-sampled before conversion, potentially smoothing out the digital staircase and providing a more analog-like presentation. This user-selectable feature allows you to tailor the digital processing to your specific taste and system compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Listening Room Difference\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe’re a third-generation family business with a brick-and-mortar showroom in Chestertown, Maryland, and a reputation built on trust, not hype.
