Meitner MA3i DAC Review

@audphile1  Do you have an MA3i in house? If so, can you share any impressions relative to your Bricasti M3? Are you also using your Aurender via USB into the MA3i or are you also going to try the internal streamer? Curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

@sfpeloton I just got it on Tuesday earlier this week. I have about 70hrs of play time on it. Preliminary results are positive but I will hold off on jumping to conclusions at this time as I can still notice changes in how it sounds. It’s going thru a minor rollercoaster of a break in.

I’m running it 90% of the time as a Roon end point and occasionally have my Aurender N200 feed it via Audience Studio One USB cable. 
 

I’ll have some thoughts on it after I put some more mileage on it. 
 

The Meitner is slated to replace my long time reference DAC, Bricasti M3.

Congratulations! Looks great on that stand. I have had my eye on the MA3i as well and will be keen to hear your comparison to the Bricasti (also my current DAC). Enjoy.

Thanks @sfpeloton !

I’ll keep you posted. 

What Ethernet cable are you guys using with your Meitner?
