Angeboten wird „MA3i NEW ‘i’ VERSION!!“ von Meitner Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1236560628 endet am 15.07.2026 um 06:25 Uhr.
This is a solidly priced buy, not a steal: €7,995 sits above the €6,296 median but well below the €12,029 75th percentile, so it lands in the upper-middle of the current used market rather than the ambitious end. For a current-generation Meitner/DAC-preamp piece, that is a sensible ask if the unit is clean and fully functioning.
What makes it compelling is the usual EMM Labs/Meitner strength: very refined digital playback with a smooth, low-fatigue presentation, excellent resolution, and the kind of timing and composure that can anchor a serious system. The “i” update adds appeal for buyers who want the newer version without paying top-of-market money, and a good-condition example is the right kind of used purchase here if it includes the remote, packaging, and original accessories.
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.
