Four devices in one CD/SACD player, streamer, DAC and digital preamplifier.
Since Kalista's first creation in the early 2000s, parent company Métronome Technologie developed deluxe CD transport and DACs, ultimately streamers and a vinyl turntable. In 2021, Kalista comes with a revolutionary new device called DreamPlay X. The brand's first SACD player, it incorporates the latest technologies to become the first 4-in-one in the ultra-high-end market: SACD player, transmitter, DAC and digital preamplifier. .

Many Kalista fans have been requesting a SACD Transport or Player for a long time.
Here it is, immediately recognizable by its shape, even if there are no parts in common with the other products in the DreamPlay range.
The legendary mix of materials is still there, aluminum for the chassis, stainless steel for the feet, the transparency of methacrylate for the top and a new round touch screen…
But DreamPlay X is not just a SACD Transport, it's also a Streamer and Network Player (up to DSD256), plus a resampling function. The integrated version, DreamPlay XC, has an internal DSD D/A converter and Leedh Processing's famous digital volume control.
Available in Diamond (silver) and Black Pearl (black) finishes, retail prices are €59,900.00 for the DreamPlay X® and €68,700.00 for the DreamPlay XC.
Jean Marie Clauzel, owner and designer of Kalista, says: “We don't create products like this every morning, even if the last few years have been rich in new product launches (DreamPlay STREAM, the Twenty-Twenty turntable). For me, DreamPlay X is the affirmation that Kalista plays in the big leagues, or better that we are one of the main leaders in this field. There is no comparable device on the market."
