UNIVERSAL BD PLAYER
REPRINTED FROM HI-FI NEWS | www.hinews.co.uk
Thanks to its universal disc compatibility including native SACD playback, and playback
of les up to 24-bit/192kHz, this might be considered an audiophiles dream machine
Review: John Bamford Lab: Paul Miller
Primare BD32 (£3250)
T
ime was when a ‘universal’ disc
player referred to a DVD-Video/
Audio machine also capable
of playing SACDs – and CDs, of
course. The rst to appear was Pioneer’s
DV-747A, in 2002, then considered
controversial: such was the rivalry between
DVD-Audio and Sony’s SACD format.
Since the advent of the hi-def Blu-ray
Disc, universal players have been thin on
the ground. Naturally all BD players handle
CDs and DVD-Videos, but with DVD-A and
SACD being of little interest to the masses,
only a select clutch of universal players
has appeared on the market. D&M has
developed a universal BD ‘engine’ that has
appeared in various iterations in luxurious
Denon, Marantz and McIntosh players,
while US-based Oppo has dominated the
affordable end of the world market, with its
evolving line of universal players based on
platforms from Taiwan’s Mediatek Inc.
SIgNIfIcANt othERS
Indeed, such is Oppo’s dominance that
when other universal BD players come
to market sporting nominally identical
functionality they are often thought of as
‘an Oppo in a different box’. Cambridge
Audio’s recently-introduced models are a
case in point, although readers who saw
our test of the company’s excellent 751BD
[HFN Aug ’11] will know that Cambridge
developed its own ten-channel audio
board for its player. And so it is with this
BD32 from Primare, based around the core
of an Oppo BDP-93 but with signicant
differences under the bonnet to justify
its elevated price tag. Of course, the
price premium also buys you Primare’s
heavyweight build quality and chic
industrial design, with fabulous OLED front
panel display that matches the Swedish
rm’s EISA Award-winning 32 Series audio
components introduced last year.
As with the Oppo and Cambridge Audio
models, Primare’s BD32 can play les from
USB ash drives and HDDs (FAT32 or NTFS
formatted) and eSATA drives too. Trying
a selection of les from my 1TB ‘digital
library’ I can conrm compatibility with
MP3, FLAC and WAV les (two-channel) all
the way up to 24-bit/192kHz – but not AIFF.
In addition to its Ethernet port to
support BD Live and other interactive
services via the internet, the BD32 comes
with a supplied Wi-Fi dongle compatible
with 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz wireless
networks. Currently limited in functionality
on this Mediatek platform the player can
stream audio, video and photos from UPnP
media servers on a home network.
For the BD32’s dedicated stereo
outputs – both single-ended RCAs and
balanced connections on XLRs – Primare
has employed Crystal’s proven CS4398
DSD-capable DAC. The multichannel audio
stage uses a Crystal CS4382A DSD DAC.
A switch-mode power supply is employed
to make the BD32 eco-friendly when in
standby, but there are regulated linear
power supplies individually driving the
player’s analogue and digital circuits, the
SMPS being automatically switched off to
avoid any potential interference once the
BD32 is red up. The player’s mute circuits
are entirely relay-controlled, so you’d
better become accustomed to the sound of
clicking relays within the Primare’s chassis
when skipping a disc’s tracks/chapters.
WE READ thE MANUAL
While Primare’s set-up menu is obviously
based on the same template as that used
by Cambridge in its 751BD there are a few
subtle – and not so subtle – variations in
functionality, quite aside from the BD32’s
