Just announced and released at the Vienna High End Show 2026: meet Omega Audio Concepts latest beauty, the SOLISTA CD PLAYER!
What a beauty and what a fantastic piece of equipment: All in one CD player, DAC and integrated power supply.
Hand crafted in Italy.
NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER IN THE UK
Like an artist performing a solo, SOLISTA brings together disc reading, signal conversion, and power supply within one single structure. That is where its name begins.
The chassis is machined from a single block of solid aluminum using CNC technology. A solution designed to ensure rigidity, precision, and reduced vibration.
It is the first Omega Audio Concepts CD player with an integrated power supply. A design choice created to offer greater ease of use, while maintaining physical separation between the fundamental sections of the system through 2 cm of solid aluminum.
The power supply section is positioned at the rear of the chassis, inside dedicated compartments isolated from the reading mechanism. Five independent power supplies ensure control, stability, and coherence throughout the entire signal path.
The front opening uses a hinge system, designed to make interaction essential and to avoid introducing electronic circuits that could influence the reading mechanics during playback.
Player control is entrusted to an external display, paired with an infrared remote control for remote operation. The display itself is housed in a structure machined from solid aluminum.
SOLISTA uses the renowned CD PRO 8 reading mechanism and integrates all the fundamental characteristics that define an Omega Audio Concepts source.
SOLISTA represents the gateway to our digital world, without being an entry-level.
