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 7550656334 ends on 20.10.2026 at 08:27 o'clock.
€5,990 is fair-to-slightly-firm against the local used market: it sits right at the 75th percentile and only a touch above the median €5,686, so this is not a bargain but also not out of line for a clean example. It’s priced toward the stronger end of the recent comparable range, which is reasonable if the unit is genuinely tidy and ready to use.
This is still a compelling buy because the MA3 is widely respected for its smooth, high-end DAC performance, strong timing, and refined, low-fatigue presentation that works especially well in serious systems. If the listing includes the original packaging, remote, and a clean service history, that adds real value and helps justify paying near the top of the spread.

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.
