About the MA3

The Meitner Audio MA3 is a high-end integrated digital-to-analog converter and preamplifier with built-in network streamer, combining technologies from EMM Labs DA2 V2 and DV2 converters with NS1 streamer functions. It employs proprietary 16xDSD MDAC2™ fully discrete dual differential D-to-A converters paired with MDAT2™ DSP for real-time transient detection and up-conversion. Key technologies include MFAST™ for jitter-free signal acquisition, asynchronous MCLK2™ clocking, galvanically isolated USB interface, and VControl™ high-resolution volume control without re-quantization. Supports streaming services like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Deezer, vTuner via UPnP/DLNA, Roon Ready/Endpoint, and file playback (AAC, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA). Designed and manufactured in Canada with a sleek all-metal chassis. Note: No further updates after 2024; upgrade path to MA3i available.
