>>The prima cdp is a much cheaper model without the sophisticated power supply, digital filter and output stage.<<
I was provided a unit to home demo moons ago; was told it would easily better my Linn (linn digital gets so little respect around here) for less money. Didn't even come close, past it's tendency towards brightness, it obviously compressed the frequency extremes/bandwidth during peak passages, even compared to the Linn Genki(*). I also compared it to an Ayre I was also considering, in another system, no contest there either.
Others around here swore by it and the Capitole, neither proved to be my cup of tea ... (the Linn CD12 proved far superior to any Capitole I've heard, but each demo system was completely different (the Capitole was demo'd in an expensive tube based system, the Linn SS).
Follow Ups:
Well, I can't comment on the Prima cdp except to point out it was the budget model but the Prima DAC was not (it was $5K new).
Ultimately, I preferred my Monarchy DAC and now the excellent Kinergetics with Lampizator mods.

I'd like to hear or attempt the mod one day.
