Prism Sound Calia Dac, Pre & Headphone Amp
« on: 4 Jun 2023, 11:05 pm »
Prism Sound is a major name in the pro audio world. The design and design of this DAC is the same as the much more expensive Prism Lyra interface, that cost $10K, and is used in many top recording studios around the world.

This is wonderful sounding DAC. Warm, natural and detailed. I pair it with a Transformer Volume Control (TVC) with amazing results. I got the idea to pair this combination from this review by The Sound Advocate. https://www.thesoundadvocate.com/2021/05/prism-sound-callia-dac-comprehensively-assessed/

If anyone is interested using with my TVC (Django with steven and billington tx102 transformers) let me know. I soon will be posting this for sale.

That said, the internal volume control and headphone amp (with its own separate volume control) are both also excellent.

I spent a lot of time researching DACs and read many excellent reviews. Based on my homework, I decided to go with Prism rather than another DAC of the month from China. If interested, I suggest you spend some time reviewing the many positive reviews found here. https://www.prismsound.com/hifi/reviews.php

This DAC is about 9 months old. It is basically new condition.

I am selling this DAC (and the TVC) only because I purchased a processor and plan on implementing active crossovers and room correction in the digital domain before using the built-DAC function in the procosser. Otherwise, I would be keeping the Prism because I was completely satisfied in using it.

Asking $1000 but will consider reasonable offers. Thanks very much for looking.
