PRE35 Prisma Preamplifier User Guide

Playing music from a drive or music server

You can play audio files from a USB flash drive, external USB hard disk, or a network drive. These options are ideal if you already have a digital library of CDs or music files.

On a USB flash drive or USB hard disk the files can be organised into folders, giving you one way of classifying your music; eg by Artist.

On a NAS drive you have the option of running a media server program, which will catalogue your music library and give you the option of organising it in different ways; eg by Artist, Genre, Album, or Composer. One free option is MinimServer; see http://minimserver.com/.

To play audio files from a USB flash drive or hard drive

  • Connect the USB drive to the USB-A input on the PRE35. 

The USB drive can contain folders and music files in any of the popular formats; see Technical specification.

  • Use the Prisma app to browse, play, and control the music.

To play audio files from a NAS (network) drive

  • Connect the NAS drive to the same network as the PRE35.

The NAS drive can either contain folders and music files in any of the popular formats, or it can run a music server. See Technical specification for details of the supported file formats.

  • Use the Prisma app to browse, play, and control the music.

Alternatively you can select and play music from a Mac or PC using a music server program such as JRiver or Foobar2000.
