Meitner MA3

Meitner gets lots of praise among digital audiophiles.

You can check prices on hifi shark, as I have no idea what they go for now used.

The MA3 is a good DAC/Streamer. I have one and have no issues with it. Sounds very organic and polite. It's not too far behind the company's ultra expensive model. I have replaced mine with a MSB Premiere because I can but could easily live with either one of them. 

I also have the MA3, stepping up from the BMC UltraDac.  The MA3 is more detailed, relaxed and musical at the same time. A difficult task to allow microdetails to shine while enhancing the musical whole.  It does everything right to me, especially acoustic music.  I listen primarily to smaller jazz combos and chamber music. $5.7 is a good price.

If it came dowm to the MA3, Aurender A1000 or A15 do you have an opinion as for which one to lean towards?

I had the MA3 for several months; it’s an excellent DAC and a serious value especially at the price offered to you. Used with RJ-45 cable to network switch and I was off to the races. Roon recognized immediately and no buggy software issues;  To beat this DAC you are in the $10K plus range.
