No-compromise, full Prism
Sound audio quality

The design goal for
CALLIA was to provide Prism Sound audio quality in a sophisticated but easy to
use package for listening to music at home. CALLIA makes no compromises on
audio quality. CALLIA delivers the standard of audio performance demanded by
top recording professionals at sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 384kHz****
or in DSD64 or DSD128.

 

New high-current,
low-impedance headphone output

The CALLIA headphone
output is a brand new design, different from that of the professional audio
range. The CALLIA headphone output is a high-current, low impedance design
optimized for the best possible performance. CALLIA handles the wide range of
headphone sensitivities and impedances by providing several operating ranges,
selected by switch presets on the rear panel of the unit. In this way, CALLIA
can easily handle headphones from a few ohms to more than 250 ohms and will
deliver a smooth, well-balanced and transparent sound.

Easy connectivity to your computer, tablet* or transport

In CALLIA, we have
created a unit compatible with the widest range of computer hardware using a
USB2 interface supporting UAC2 audio. CALLIA also supports S/P-DIF digital
audio inputs.

+

The UAC2 (USB Audio Class 2) interface is supported natively in Mac OS, Linux
and Android, and in Windows with WDM and ASIO drivers that we supply.



CALLIA supports S/P-DIF digital audio inputs on both optical TOSLink and
"Phono" co-axial screened copper connections. Source selection,
namely USB or S/P-DIF on optical or copper connections is automatic, though
manual override is possible.

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
original rate (DSD128). DSD Files encoded as "DOP" may be played with
both ASIO and WDM drivers.

 

Balanced and unbalanced
outputs

CALLIA offers balanced
and unbalanced output formats at +14dBu and 2Vrms respectively. The balanced
output is presented on professional XLR male pin connectors and the unbalanced
(consumer) output is on industry-standard "Phono" co-axial
connectors.

Unsurpassed Jitter Rejection

CALLIA uses the same
"CleverClox" hybrid digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) circuitry as
Prism Sound professional products. Prism Sound digital audio products
re-generate ultra-stable clocks for best quality conversion.
