Primo is our first audiophile music network player and streamer, DAC integrated, bundled with Volumio OS with a full range of audio formats support.
In a few words, Primo controls the music via local network, being played through the Volumio software already installed in the device, using a standard Web Browser's User Interface or Android/iOS apps.
Primo works at its best connected to the internet, in this way you can use all the network music features, but it can also works as local player, taking source from your local music (HDD/NAS)
You can choose between different audio sources such HDD/NAS local files, Webradios, Streaming services and 3rd party plugins.
Volumio Primo has its DAC onboard. It mounts an ES9028Q2M DAC via I2S connected to the Tinkerboard S mainboard.
This means you can choose between :
RCA ANALOG OUTPUTS (connect RCA cables to the inputs of an amplifier)
COAX SPDIF DIGITAL OUTPUTS (connect COAX cable to the input of a DAC)
You can also choose the USB OUTPUT of Primo as third choice, to connect USB DAC and reach the max PCM audio resolution (768KHz/32bit) and other advantages, such DSD and MQA stream.
In the Primo box, you have 5V 3A PSU - center PIN positive (which is a high-quality switching one).
Yes, you can connect USB units (such HDDs or SSDs) and NAS.
You can connect more than 1 USB drive, we suggest, in this case, powered units in order to manage without troubles large data amount.
Volumio Primo is an always on device, so there is no power switch. You can turn on and off the system by the software UI and app.
There is also the SLEEP function that allows you to program when to stop the music and to turn off the system and the WAKE UP function to program the playback of a playlist.
