The Primare SC15 Prisma just replaced my Yamaha NP S303 streamer with the goal of improving the sound quality over the network. Although the Yamaha is a benchmark product for its price, I have to admit, this was a real kick in the pants. Of course, it's not the same price either!
The SD15 is very generous across all frequencies. I no longer need my "Bass/Treble" equalizers. So now I'm using the direct source on my amp.
I also love the understated and solid finish of the case on its three feet as well as its particular standard size.
Technical advantages:
- The RCA output can be modified to be either fixed or variable in preamp mode.
- An analog RCA input. For me, a turntable input (note: this is not a Phono input).
- All inputs (1x analog and 4x digital) can be named as desired.
Small negative point: User manual unavailable in French.
The Primare SC15 is a very nice device with very good technical and musical quality.

Le Primare SC15 Prisma vient de remplacer mon streamer Yamaha NP S303 dans un but d'améliorer la qualité du son en réseau. Bien que le Yamaha soit un produit de référence pour son prix, là, j'avoue avoir pris un coup de pied au c… Bon, c'est pas le même prix non plus !
Le SD15 est très généreux sur toutes les fréquences. Plus besoin de mes correcteurs "Grave/Aigue". Je suis donc maintenant en source directe sur mon ampli..
J'adore également la finition sobre et massive du boitier sur ses trois pieds ainsi que son gabarit au standard particulier..
Les plus du côté technique :
- La sortie RCA peut être modifiée soit fixe soit variable en mode préampli.
- Une entrée analogique RCA. Pour moi, entrée platine vinyle (attention, ce n'est pas une entrée Phono).
- Nomination à souhait de toutes les entrées (1x Ana et 4x Num).
Petit point négatif : Notice introuvable en Français.
Le Primare SC15 est un très bel appareil avec une très bonne qualité technique et musicale.
