Meitner Releases Next Generation MA3 Integrated DAC
Meitner Audio has released the next generation of its award-winning DACs, and the follow up to its highly-regarded DA2 V2.
The newly released MA3 Integrated D/A Converter combines Ed Meitner's proven world-class sound techniques from the DA2 V2 and DV2 converters while incorporating network audio streaming functions from the Canadian brand's NS1 Streamer. Combined, the MA3 delivers one sleek, affordable package to serve your greater enjoyment of music.
The MA3 employs Meitner's MDAC2 fully discrete single-bit, 16xDSD, D-to-A converters, coupled with the MDAT2 DSP, which performs real-time transient detection as well as up-conversion of all incoming audio.
With support for up to 24bit/192kHz and DSD resolution over all inputs, USB Audio, AES, TOSLINK, COAX and RJ45 network, it will also handle 2xDSD (via DoP) and DXD (352/384kHz) over USB Audio. The MA3 also offers full MQA unfolding via USB and Network inputs. Roon fans are catered for with Roon Ready and Roon Endpoint functionality.
Meitner says the MA3 also caters for Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Deezer, vTuner, plus many more streaming audio services - subject to regional availability. Meitner Audio also offers its mConnect app for network control on Android, IOS and tablets.
Designed and manufactured in Canada, Meitner Audio allows you to simply connect the MA3 directly to your amplifiers and speakers of choice, and enjoy! The MA3 is the perfect integrated digital hub for any high-end system, regardless of budget.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
