Offered is „MA3i DAC-Streamer-Vorverstärker +++ Verkauf im Kundenauftrag +++“ by Meitner Audio as second-hand device from the category „Preamplifier with extras“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3461556899 ends on 16.10.2026 at 06:02 o'clock.
Against the €5,892 median for 38 recent EU comparables, €7,290 sits above typical but still below the €9,491 75th percentile, so this reads as a slightly ambitious but still defensible ask rather than a bargain or a stretch. It’s not cheap, but it is close enough to the upper-middle of the market that a clean sale can still make sense if the unit is fully sorted and complete.
That’s because this class of Meitner/EMM Labs DAC-streamer-preamp is bought for its refined, low-fatigue presentation, strong conversion quality, and unusually flexible “one-box” convenience. If the seller’s commission listing is genuine customer-sale stock with tidy provenance and original accessories, the upside is a well-regarded, high-end digital hub that should hold interest with serious buyers; at this price, I’d mainly want to confirm condition, firmware status, and that the remote, power lead, and packaging are all present.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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. Their products, handcrafted by a tight-knit team of physicists, engineers, and music lovers, represent the pinnacle of state-of-the-art hi-fi, influencing industry standards while delivering reference-level performance to homes worldwide.
