Volumio Primo V3 streaming DAC
Volumio, the leading audio software platform for music streaming and playback, today announced the launch of the third generation of Primo, the company’s beloved first streaming DAC. Primo V3 is a streaming DAC completely reinvented around Volumio’s latest engineering solutions to set a new standard for Volumio’s streaming DAC range.
Primo V3 is the next step in Volumio’s high-fidelity streaming journey, and enhances all of the features audiophiles across the globe love from the first two generations. Volumio is going one step further too by integrating features that were praised on other products. At the core of this launch is the feedback from the Volumio community and its users across all products.
The new features of Primo V3 include:
Newer CPU – faster and more responsive than ever before
Linear PSU – lower noise for better SNR
Better DAC – powered by the ES9039Q2M
Improved output stage – delivering lower distortion and noise
Adjustable output levels – perfect matching with your system
Higher resolution – supporting higher resolution audio in PCM
NOS mode – preserves the raw signal path for non-oversampling conversion
Adding DAC filters – 8 filters to finely tune your sound
Michelangelo Guarise, the founder and CEO of Volumio, who leads Volumio’s team of creative minds, engineers, music enthusiasts, and audiophiles, said: “Primo V3 is not an iteration. It is a complete reinvention of our flagship streaming DAC. Built on Volumio’s latest engineering platform, it reflects our commitment to pushing performance boundaries while staying true to the musicality and ease of use our users expect.”
“Primo V3 builds on everything our community has loved about the previous generations, while introducing meaningful improvements in performance, flexibility, and control,” added Guarise.
Primo V3, like all of Volumio’s products, have been designed and developed by hand in the heart of Florence, Tuscany. It is powered by Volumio, the music OS developed with the sole purpose of guaranteeing the best audio streaming quality and experience. Users can play music from any local source, and access online streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz, HighResAudio, TuneIn, Spotify all through the Volumio app or any favourite streaming app, whether that be Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect or Roon.
The Primo V3 is priced at €849, $1,049 and £769.
