Meitner MA3i SE Integrated DAC

The ideal choice for those seeking next-level digital performance.

“The MA3i hits all the check boxes and then some. Revealing but not sharp or critical. Increased realism. Solid resonance and imaging with notes persisting in air. Increased detail and soundstage both horizontal and vertical and most importantly, it just pulls you in.”

Introducing the MA3i SE, the highly anticipated Silver Edition of Meitner’s acclaimed MA3i Integrated D/A Converter. Featuring a full silver chassis precision-machined from high-grade Canadian aluminum and a custom-designed silver front panel, the MA3i SE delivers all the beloved features of the original MA3i in a striking new aesthetic.
