Emm labs DAC2x v2 or Meitner MA3i or ?


If anyone has a first-hand experience with the two (or another contender), could you please share your takeaways. Let's ignore for a moment that one unit doesn't have a built-in streamer and assume a reasonable streamer pairing. Thanks!

The MA3i will have the latest circuit ideas from EMM/Meitner.  That should be significant.

@Rays19, the Dac2x v2 is from 2017 and the MA3i was released in late 2024. The MA3i incorporates about eight years of circuit and programming ideas. I think the conclusion the two products sound the same is flawed as I have a MA3i and had a MA1 with a Dac2x analog board for a few years.
