The YMIR is a complete clean-sheet design developed from the ground up to deliver reference-level performance in a human-scale form. Designed for consistent behavior in real listening rooms, the YMIR balances dynamics, tonal accuracy, and usability while maintaining a visual design that reflects both its acoustic and structural purpose. Rather than evolving an existing platform, Ø Audio developed the YMIR from a blank-sheet approach, creating an entirely new loudspeaker architecture centered around controlled directivity, low distortion, and seamless driver integration. -
DreamPlay SC carries within it the Kalista DNA in its purest form: an obsession with detail, noble materials, and the conviction that silence between notes is as precious as the notes themselves.
Hand-crafted entirely within the French manufacture Métronome Technologie, DreamPlay SC unites streaming and reference DAC conversion within a single exceptional object — where every technological breakthrough, every architectural choice, exists solely to serve music at the highest possible level.
Beyond this mastery lies the very soul of Kalista: an authentic, living sound that transcends any specification. One only needs to listen to be definitively conquered.

Finished in an ultra soft extruded TPR jacket.
Gauge: 4x26.5 AWG
Outside Diameter: 0.511”/13mm -
To create Clear Beyond Power XL, we took our very popular Clear Beyond Power, and scaled everything up. Bigger conductors, better shielding and improved noise filtering. We then added yet another level of noise filtration, extending the path to ground to three times the length of the cable itself through a simple and graceful geometry that could only come from the mind of George Cardas. This is our most sophisticated power cable ever, and is designed to provide the largest, most power hungry amplifiers with clean, high current, while also giving sensitive source components the stable, clear and noise free power they require for the absolute highest fidelity. Terminated with our all new premium Cardas E-5 connectors, featuring silver/rhodium plated copper contact surfaces, Clear Beyond Power XL is designed for the most demanding electronics.Standard Terminations: Soldered and crimped Cardas E-5 premium power plugs with silver/ rhodium plated solid copper contacts. Terminated by hand in Bandon, Oregon.
Design/Construction: Conductors: Grade 1, 99.9999% pure oxygen free tin plated copper, gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Cross-field layer geometry, insulated in a TPE jacket.
Each conductor has multiple lay lengths and has it’s own shield.Geometry: Entire cable is double shielded with tin plated copper and magnet wire. Twisted triad mixed with PVC air tubes bound with FEP tape wrap. Super flexible TPR outer jacket. Filtration: A torodial ground filter is built into the termination and works in unison with a ground leg extension system.

Perfecting HDR-A took over 10 years of continuous research and development. The graph shows how it works. Path 1 is an audio signal with 90dB of dynamic range, from 0dB to 90dB. Path 2 is an audio signal with 100dB of dynamic range, from 80dB to 180dB. When paths 1 & 2 are combined, the resulting dynamic range is 180dB, from 0dB to 180dB. That’s multi-path high dynamic range audio. Multi-path HDR-A offers two major advantages over traditional single-path methods. First, it significantly reduces noise and distortion (THD+N). The imersiv D-1 achieves a remarkable 40 nanovolts of broadband noise, which is around 40 dB lower — 100 times quieter — than today’s best DAC designs. In fact, the D-1’s self-noise is 25dB below the measurement capability of today’s leading test equipment, such as the APx555B. The second advantage is untethered headroom. HDR-A technology allows us to boost high-path headroom to any level without affecting our quiescent self-noise. The D-1 provides +22dBu (10 volts) of ISO-free* headroom while maintaining its profoundly low 40nV self-noise floor. This results in a true broadband, unweighted linearity and dynamic range of 28 bits or 168dB. (*inter-sample overs or inter-sample peaks) Multi-path is the next design standard of audio architecture, from microphone to power amp, and everything in between. -
