SC15 Prisma MK2 AVForums Best High End Digital Source

It’s a mark of the digital sources we looked at in 2025 that our ‘High End’ award goes to a sub £2,000 device… but the Primare does enough to warrant consideration used with serious partnering equipment and it left Martin decidedly impressed. In some ways, the fact that the Primare sounds very good is the ‘easy’ bit. It’s the sheer range of other things it can do that makes it special. As a preamp and DAC, Primare’s SC15 MK2 produces exquisite sounding performance. It’s also feature-rich with a raft of connections, WiSA wireless speaker connectivity and automated or manual EQ. As Martin noted; “To get this kind of versatility, functionality and gorgeous sound from one unassuming black enclosure is surely enlightening.’ It’s also how you win an award.
