Systems CPU comparison (V9 minimum specs 2020)
We use low-energy, high performance versions full-spec CPUs (not puny laptop type devices used in many other products) Standard is dual-core, 2 thread. PLUS is enhanced dual-core, 4-thread. MX is quad-core, XL is hex-core or quad-core, 8-thread Xtreme is hex-core, or octa-core. Specifications subject to change
Lite is J4105 quad-core. (SPDIF/AES versions currently J1900 (approx 60% speed of standard Prestige)) Both will handle Roon PCM up-sampling 192K/DSD64 (384K/DSD128 on regular Lite)
Hard drive versions copy CDs to SSD during playback. Next time CD is played it will usually play from SSD (100+ CD cache) (So drive is mostly on standby. Non-cached option, on request)
A range of UK manufactured linear power supplies are available on request. From August, 2020 a supply in matching D240mm x W220mm, H60mm enclosure will also be available for mounting below, or next to your Prestige
Roonify older devices: With the Prestige Sonore Bridge SW you can connect old NAIM/Linn non-Roon ready units. With NAIM you can stream to other devices in-sync by starting your playback on the NDS, opening the Naim application, and accessing the 'now playing' screen. Click on multi-room icon and select the other devices you wish to stream to:

Note: Roon certify specific models but as we offer many variants Prestige is not certified. It is similar to certified products based on Sonicorbiter SW. (SonicTransporter and Antipodes Servers) If using Roon use the 'Enable Local Playback' option on Settings/Roon Server, or use Roonready on an external renderer, such as microrendu, ultrarendu etc
