Reaching for a dream - The reference KALISTA CD Turntable now comes with a DAC inside! The high-end KALISTA Brand stands for the purest and unique sound with astonishing musicality, emotional realism and a visually stunning design statement that makes you dream.
Completely handcrafted in France, DreamPlay ONE is the legendary Kalista CD Turntable in Diamond or Black Pearl finishes equipped with an internal powerful DAC offering an unmistakable musical experience.
Famous for a remarkably authentic sound with a natural depth, the Kalista’s sound qualities result from exceptional electronics and combination of noble materials.

The first Kalista Integrated CD Turntable DreamPlay ONE has a pickup mechanism PHILIPS CD PRO and a high-end internal D/A converter with 2 conversion chips (AK4497) in dual mono mode delivering that excellent precision and aerial sound reproduction that defines the analogue savoir-faire of Métronome.
An external power supply Elektra with 7 separate power regulation lines and 3 high-quality toroidal power transformers accompanies the DreamPlay ONE to decrease vibrations and increase fast power transitions.
