Enjoy The Music reviews of EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer -
The MA3 has similar sound character to other EMM Labs components over the years, a sound that has improved dramatically over time, but which shares very particular traits:
· Wide open imaging and frequency response
· A beautiful instrumental sonority
· Very fast reflexes
· Effortless at all volume levels
· Very high resolution
· Low distortion
· No digital nasties
On equipment of this calibre there is no need to report how it sounds on different types of music. If you get the timing, phase behaviour, distortion, dynamics, resolution and frequency response right, any music you throw at it will sound close to the potential in the recording. The MA3 does not play favourites. It is equally at home in hard rock, folk, world music, jazz and classical from the smallest to the largest scale. I simply couldn't catch it out, even with difficult recordings such as Chopin's Funeral March Sonata, Haydn Quartets played on original instruments by the QuatuorMosaïques, Leonard Cohen's final album or Louis Armstrong Hot Five and Hot Seven, nor on music of great complexity like Mahler's Resurrection Symphony. The MA3 maintains its clear head under any storm.
I understand that $9500 is still a great deal of money, and out of reach for most listeners. But it still represents amazing value among high end digital components. If you don't need analogue inputs (I don't) it can save you the price of a great preamp and associated cables, since you just connect it directly to your power amp.
Since EMM Labs and Meitner Audio roll their own DACs, implementing them in firmware on powerful programmable hardware, from time to time you may get firmware updates which bring significant improvements to the sound or the functionality. This is a major plus, common to just a few brands.
The MA3 carries my warmest possible recommendation. It makes as strong a case for digital audio as anything out there.
Meitner Audio MA3 Integrated Hi-Res DAC Review Outstanding performance and value! Review By Phil Gold of Enjoy the Music.com

Soundstage Ultra reviews of EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer -
"The term value gets thrown around a lot in this industry. Heck, I’ve already used it in this review, and I’ll tell you why: Meitner Audio’s MA3 DAC-preamplifier has redefined what I expect from a product of this kind that’s priced up to $15,000."
"The culmination of network streaming, Roon integration, local music file storage, and unflappable ergonomics supplemented by numerous proprietary technologies borrowed from the MA3’s more exotic brethren result in a product that not only redefines the benchmark in this price category, but raises the bar significantly. Yet again, Ed Meitner should be proud of what he and his team have created here, and the competition should be on alert. The Meitner Audio MA-3 is enthusiastically recommended!"
