Hear the Truth of Your Digital Audio
If it’s in the mix, you’ll surely hear it with the Prism Sound Callia Reference DAC and Headphone Amplifier. Equipped with industry-leading clocking technology and conversion, Callia ensures that nothing will come between you and the sonic reality of your source material. Inputs for USB, S/PDIF via TOSlink, and AES3-ID via RCA, as well as balanced XLR and “pseudo-balanced” RCA outputs, make Callia suitable for a wide range of professional and consumer applications. And Callia’s high-current headphone output offers adjustable impedance to match your favorite headphones for optimized sonic performance. When you need to hear a true representation of any digital audio format, you can trust your ears when using the Prism Sound Callia Reference DAC.
Comprehensive format support and connectivity
Whatever your listening style or studio workflow is, audio engineers at Sweetwater have found that the Prism Sound Callia Reference DAC is ready to accommodate. You’ll find both RCA and TOSlink inputs for S/PDIF signals, and the RCA input can also be configured for AES3-ID digital audio. Practically any type of audio file format can be played back via USB, including high-resolution DSD audio files using the DSD over PCM (DOP) protocol. DSD audio is supported at the original bit rate (DSD64) and at double the original sample rate (DSD128).
Customize your sonic experience
On the rear panel of the Prism Sound Callia Reference DAC, you’ll find a set of DIP switches for tailoring its operation to your needs. One switch allows you to enable line volume control, or disable it — if you’re using a downstream control for volume. The second switch adjusts the DSD headroom, useful when working with “hot” DSD streams. Switches three and four optimize the headphone amplifier for different headphone impedances, ensuring that you’ll enjoy rich lows, detailed mids, and airy highs no matter what type of headphones you use.
