Meitner i upgrades

New i upgrades are available for Meitner DACs. It’s an extensive upgrade requiring a trip back to the factory in Calgary, Ontario and dealers are facilitating the process. I should be getting a return authorization number soon to send in my MA3. Cost for the MA3 upgrade is $3500. I believe it will be a noticeable improvement for a not outrageous cost (by hi-end audio standards). Details are on the Meitner website.

Meitner MA3 upgrade to MA3i

Dear Community,

I have been studying your posts with great interest and am positively impressed by your MA3i upgrade results,

because I am also interested in an MA3i upgrade of my MA3 (Roon Nucl.+ (B) connected via USB).

 

1st question,

have any of you read the Stereophile (US) MA3 Review 03Jun2022, by Jason Victor Serinus?

https://www.stereophile.com/content/meitner-ma3-integrated-da-processor

 

Since the Stereophile writes very critically, they rated the MA3 as follows

(in Page 2, after Joyce DiDonato's album Eden, review excerpt):

"

Three things were certain:

  1. The MA3's soundstage was impressively wide,
  2. its bass was quite strong (although it lacked the ultimate wallop and control of my more costly reference DACs), and
  3. its colors were true. If anything, the Rossini DAC/Clock combo sounded a mite warmer.

"

2nd question,

did this MA3i upgrade live up to the Sterophile review of the MA3?

Were the criticisms above taken into account?

 

3rd Question,

does anyone have experience using the Meitner MA-3 (i) and Roon

(Roon Nucleus+ (B) server with QNAP NAS in a network)?

 

I would be pleased to read your comments.

 

Many thanks and best regards

Michael
