I use the internal streamer in the MA3. I had an NS1 connected via Toslink, glass cable, to the MA3 and could not determine a difference.
new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today
Letting it warm up and run some playlists on repeat through it. Gonna give it a few hundred hours of break-in before the first critical session. Nice unit. Roon 1.8 picked it up, but didn’t let me configure as an output since the certification is delayed by a few weeks. Wasn’t really planning on switching the digital front end, as it’s more of a secondary source during the day, but I just couldn’t take the Aurender UI/UX anymore. “A far more intuitive interface, Roon is” said Yoda. The A10 sound was very livable long term but just got tired of that darn UI. Roon could stream to it, but only over airplay, so what’s the point there. Anyway, I’ll post up some thoughts when I get rolling with it for real.

Thanks to each of you for the feedback on the internal streamer and thanks to my buds @david_ten and @wig for the warm welcome back. Truly great to hear that the internal streamer is so good and really stoked that it is on par with the NS1. Can’t wait to get the new system set up and hear this bad boy. Hoping to make that happen in two weeks, the critical path being delivery of the Nenuphars which have to ship by truck freight. |
