Offered is „MA3“ by Meitner Audio as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5084978224 ends on 04.11.2026 at 14:01 o'clock.
This looks like a strong deal: at €4,890, it sits well below the €5,082 25th percentile and a fair bit under the €5,407 median for recent comparable listings. For a sought-after EMM Labs/Meitner DAC, that’s an attractive entry point rather than a stretched ask.
The MA3 has a strong reputation for a very polished, natural presentation with excellent resolution and a refined, effortless top end, so it’s the kind of digital front end that can anchor a serious system for years. If the unit is clean, complete, and functioning properly, this is the sort of listing that rewards a quick decision; at this price, the main thing to confirm is simply that it’s fully operational and includes anything you’d expect with a premium DAC.

EMM Labs and Meitner Audio trace their roots to Ed Meitner, a pioneering audio engineer born in Austria who immigrated to Canada in 1969. With a career spanning over 50 years, Meitner contributed to landmark projects like the world's first automated mixing console at Olive Electrodynamics in Montreal and test equipment for Amber. He founded Museatex in the early 1980s before establishing EMM Labs in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by Meitner Audio in 2012, both carrying forward his legacy of Canadian-engineered excellence.
The brands specialize in high-performance digital and analog playback systems, renowned for their cutting-edge DACs, CD/SACD transports, and integrated playback solutions like the multi-award-winning XDS1 and MA-2. Collaborating with Sony and Philips, they refined Super Audio CD (SACD) technology, pioneering the first complete multichannel DSD playback system and setting benchmarks for high-resolution converters used in professional music production.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, EMM Labs and Meitner command respect among discerning audiophiles for their unerring fidelity, innovative engineering, and emotional engagement.
