APP AIR 2025 Status and NP5 Prisma MK2 Offer
Current Conditions
In the final months of 2024, we released updates of the APP and AIR applications for both Android and Apple devices. These apps were originally designed many years ago to control the network player platform found in the PRE60, NP30, I32 MM30, and PRE32 MM30 models. At the time, streaming services we now rely on did not yet exist.
As our development team worked on these updates, it became clear that hardware, software, and licensing changes over the years now make further updates to the apps and related components impossible.
To address this, we developed the NP5 Prisma—a solution for users of our first streaming platform to continue enjoying their fine-sounding DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) while incorporating modern, updatable streaming technology with advanced features provided by the Prisma platform.
The NP5 Prisma MK2 offers all the features of the original network player platform, plus:
- AirPlay 2
- Chromecast
- Spotify Connect
- Roon Ready
- Audirvana
- Direct streaming for Qobuz, TIDAL, and internet radio via the Prisma app
- Playback options of native or up-sampling (with reclocking, up to 24/192 kHz)
- DSD Over PCM (DOP, when using Roon)

Special Offer for NP5 Prisma MK2
When the NP5 Prisma was first launched, we offered a 50% discount to qualified owners of the PRE60, NP30, and MM30 modules. For those who have not yet upgraded, we are extending this offer once again: €300/$375 (50% off MSRP: €600/$750)
To take advantage of this offer to seamlessly transition to the advaned features of the Prisma platform, contact your dealer, your country’s distributor with the model and serial number of your PRE60, NP30, I32 MM30, or PRE32 MM30.
APP and AIR Notes
APP:
- APP remains capable of controlling locally stored files on NAS or portable drives using standard DLNA/UPnP protocols.
- Due to GDPR-related issues, the APP is no longer available on Google Play for Android devices but is still available on Apple’s App Store. Android users needing APP can submit a help request.
- APP is not compatible with the latest Android operating systems. If upgrading to NP5 Prisma MK2 isn’t an option, alternatives are provided below.
AIR: The rapid evolution of streaming service technology has outpaced the AIR streaming app, compromising its connectivity, control, and audio performance.
Alternative Apps for Prisma Features
For those who choose not to upgrade to the NP5 Prisma MK2, we recommend using these free DLNA/UPnP control apps:
Mconnect: mconnect player app
Note: Close the paid version pop-up to access the free version.
BubbleUPnP:
- Free (with ads): Download here
- Paid (no ads): Download here
Important: Neither mconnect nor BubbleUPnP can select inputs or control a USB thumb drive connected to a Primare product. For these features, the APP may still be required.
We hope these recommendations help you continue enjoying your Primare streaming components.
