Notes: FLAG per field guidance: Callia is a DAC + preamp + headphone amplifier / monitor controller, not a tracking interface — device_class set to Monitor Controller. Also appears tiled on the site's Legacy Products page, but remains fully listed with a live spec page on the current Products page and at major US dealers (Sweetwater, B&H, FrontEndAudio) — treated as current, FLAG for review. Supports PCM up to 384kHz and DSD64/DSD128 via DOP (S/PDIF limited to DSD64). High-current low-impedance headphone amp with selectable impedance-matching ranges. Sample rate is the only spec explicitly given (44.1-384kHz); bit depth not stated (blank). Price ($1,499) is a discounted US street price (FrontEndAudio listed $1,499.20 off a $2,105 original), not confirmed official Prism MSRP — basis flagged; other search results referenced a pre-discount price near $2,750.
