| Meitner MA3i DAC Review Stereophile has published a new review of the MA3i and it echoes what most of us have stated here: https://www.stereophile.com/content/meitner-ma3i-integrated-da-processor | |
| Looking To Upgrade to a new CD Transport @kjl1065 , I have been using a Nuprime CDT 10 for the past two and a half years. It has an AES/EBU output (among several others), is very well built and performs exceptionally well. Some of the outputs are galvanically isolated and it offers upsa... | |
| Streamer/server that works as a Roon core @jrdavisphd , you are very welcome. You will not be disappointed going in the Baetis direction. Impressive build quality and sonic results. Another benefit of my unit is that it has a built-in CD ripper. | |
| Streamer/server that works as a Roon core I had been using a Small Green Computer i5 Gen 3 server as my Roon Core with my MA3i as streamer and DAC. The sound was absolutely wonderful. But I recently replaced the i5 with a Baetis Audio Prodigy X3 which now serves as my Roon Core and stre... | |
| Acoustic Room Treatments Ditto to what @jastralfu said. Recommendations regarding room treatment will not be meaningful without measuring the in-room performance of your current system. Every room will exhibit different sonic characteristics even if the dimensions are e... | |
| Puritan vs IsoTek vs inakustik I'm surprised by the negative comments I have read about the Puritan 156. I use a Puritan 156 Ultimate which is connected to a Core Power Technologies Deep=Core 1800 that is connected to my wall outlet. The results are outstanding. All my compone... | |
| Room Treatment Help I have had a great experience with GIK. The professionalism and guidance is of the highest order and they offer a range of products to fit most budgets and design aesthetic. I agree with @jastralfu, @kofibaffour and @ervikingo. Before spending... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video "The mic drop seemed to really irritate some people there. Or I don’t know, maybe it was something in one of my posts in reply - l’ll never know now." Or perhaps it was the fact he trusted his ears and not measurements alone? | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review @audphile1 , I use this right now. https://a.co/d/81uQMKa It's an inexpensive, well built, low gauge solid core cable that performs very well. I needed to finalize placement of my components so I would know what length cable I would need long-te... | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review @audphile1 and any others wondering why this is happening with the updated MA3i, per Meitner "This issue only occurs with Roon due to its latest, stricter certification requirements for language support. These exceed the small controller's RAM and... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Here are two I forgot to include earlier: Cecile McLorin Salvant - Check out "Dreams and Daggers" Dominique Fils-Aime - Check out "Nameless" | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Interesting thread as many of the recommended artists have been active for a long time. It’s nice to see many veterans being "discovered." Here are some I discovered within the past couple of years, most of whom landed on the music scene in the ... | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review @ayang90, I don't understand why listening at 97 or 98 vs. 100 would produce better results since at 100 max output voltage is attained, but trust your ears. Have you tried using the balanced outputs from the MA3i directly into your Bryston amp? ... | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review When the Pre was released Shahin at Meitner told me it really elevated the performance of the MA3. But I suspect any number of high quality pre amps might be able to do so. Before you dismiss your current preamp, make sure you have fully bypassed... | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review ayang90, thanks for sharing that review. It's a great read. I have had the same listening experience he described. |
