I really like this Primare combo and have kept it as a back-up system. I've decided that having it gathering dust, though, is dumb so I am putting the pair up for sale. I will cover Paypal fees. Original list price of these components was $7750.
The PRE32 is deceptively simple. Its features include renaming inputs, adjusting volume levels between sources, 1dB volume steps, and even changing the color of the OLED display. The unit has the MM30 DAC/streaming board. This board includes wired and wireless LAN connections, USB A and B inputs, and a high quality DAC. It may also have the Bluetooth board. I don't know as I have only tried the DAC and have not used any of the other features. There is an app for using a phone or tablet with the MM 30.
The A34.2 amp is rated 150/300 Watts output into 8/4 Ohms. In Hi-Fi News test of it, it actually produced 215/410 Watts. It can be bridged to 550Watts into eight Ohms.
Both of these components sound great and run virtually silently. Of course there is almost no heat. They can be left in standby mode as the PRE 32 only draws .2 Watt and the A34.2 an additional .3 Watt. There are no functional or cosmetic issues. They have been very well treated and lightly used.
For more information, especially on the MM30 board, go to Primare's website.

You will find a list of products that includes manuals, specs, and reviews. The MM30 is located at the end of the list under Network Players. I think this information will provide the answers that I can't.
I am in the St. Louis area and this equipment is available for audition. I have the remote, original boxes, and MM30 antennas. I do not have the original AC cord for the A34.2. You wouldn't want to use it anyway. Get a PS Audio AC-3 or AC-5 to run this equipment; you won't regret it.
