“As a preamp and DAC, Primare’s SC15 MK2 produces exquisite sounding performance. The exposition is smooth, lusciously detailed and balanced. It’s all enclosed in a three-quarter sized cabinet, perfect for finding a place on a shelf or on Hi-Fi furniture. It’s also feature-rich with a raft of connections, WiSA wireless speaker connectivity and automated or manual EQ. The features, design and gorgeous sonic character combine to champion this device as an unmitigated win-win for those on the lookout for multi-faceted player.

In keeping with Primare’s tradition for creating beautifully manufactured components, the SC15 is a stunning example. The plethora of connections add to the cocktail. And that’s without mentioning the sound, which offered a marked improvement when slotted into my JBL setup. Frankly, I couldn’t believe how much more a smooth, hyper-detailed and engaging performance the SC15 could deliver. To get this kind of versatility, functionality and gorgeous sound from one unassuming black enclosure is surely enlightening.”
