PRISTINE SOUND QUALITY

Callia makes no compromises on audio quality, ensuring you’ll experience music at home exactly as it was experienced by those who created it in the studio. Our heritage and unrivaled experience have allowed for the creation of a DAC of unparalleled sonic clarity.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT

CALLIA’s headphone output boasts a high-current, low-impedance design optimized for the best possible performance. Able to power a wide range of high-end headphones, CALLIA will adjust and match the impedance of your headphones for an unbeatable listening experience.

SIMPLIFIED CONNECTIVITY

Callia is compatible with the broadest range of computer hardware using a USB2 interface supporting UAC2 audio. Auto input detection and output protection allow for the hot plugging of cables without fear of damaging your speakers.

UNSURPASSED CLOCKING AND JITTER REJECTION

Prism Sounds long history in developing test and measurement equipment for the audio industry has provided Callia with the pinnacle of ultra-stable clocks, ensuring the most accurate and detailed conversion available.

AUDIO FORMATS

CALLIA supports linear PCM in 2’s complement binary coding and, using the “DSD over PCM” (DOP) protocol, DSD at the original bit-rate (DSD64) and also at 2 x the initial rate (DSD128). DSD Files encoded as “DOP” may be played with both ASIO and WDM drivers.

Your computer, tablet, or transport will commonly decode formats such as mp3 to PCM prior to transmission to the sound card, so these formats will typically be supported on your device in the same manner as they would be with another sound card.

On the S/P-DIF inputs, DOP can also be used, but only at the original DSD bit rate (DSD64) as these connections do not have enough bandwidth for DSD128.

The ASIO native DSD format is not currently supported.
