EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer is at Musicraft (Derby)

When Sony needed to transform SACD from an intriguing concept into a sonic reality, they turned to one of the world's leading experts in digital converter design: Ed Meitner.

https://www.emmlabs.com/images/about/Ed_2.jpg

In those early days, Ed's EMM Labs worked hand-in-glove with Sony and Phillips to refine what was possible from the format and to establish the unparalleled sonic purity for which SACD is now known.

The company soon developed the first complete multichannel DSD playback system from disc to preamplifier. And quickly became one of the industry's most respected makers of high-resolution audio recording and playback products.

These distinctions were achieved by the unique amalgam of talent here—physicists, engineers and music lovers alike—working as a team to create the most faithful music production and reproduction equipment available. And, in fact, possible.

Today, EMM Labs converter systems are the de facto DSD reference of the recording industry. Currently, almost every new SACD in production is being made with our DSD converters.

And now, EMM Labs/Meitner Audio is bringing the same peerless level of performance into audiophile homes throughout the world. Our latest products are designed for a wide variety of applications and are, without question, the most sophisticated expression yet of EMM Labs/Meitner Audio innovation and technology.

EMM Labs/Meitner Audio design and build their own proprietary DAC's. More on this from Ed Meitner in this video -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DzlobVR_5M&t=213s

"Why design your own DAC and what's wrong with commercial chips?"

"I want to have my freedom. I want to be able to decide what do I want to do with it. And I also do want to change every two years. Not that there's something wrong with chips, there is a place for it, but the place is not in the high end audio business where the philosophy and the whole idea behind is to further the state of the art. So, what do we do? Ok. And it's paid of for us. We have total control over everything in our equipment. And that was the goal I wanted."

Ed Meitner has been creating state-of-the-art professional and audiophile products for decades. If the job can be done, Ed will do it. If it can't be done, Ed will figure out a way to do it. His focus has always been singular—addressing the needs of his customers and in so doing, creating music production and reproduction equipment that's unerringly faithful to the music itself.

https://www.emmlabs.com/images/about/Ed_2.jpg

The analogue mixing consoles Ed designed back in the early 1970's for Olive Electrodynamics Company, for example, are still sought after today. So too are his Museatex and Melior audiophile products. His original thinking in the field of audio design led to several patents including:

Reproduction equipment for digital audio
Very low jitter clock recovery from serial audio data
Adaptive digital audio interpolation system
Magnetic pickup preamplifier
Retrofittable CD player system
Other notable accomplishments include creating the world's first VCA-controlled preamplifier. The first commercially available cryogenically treated cables. The legendary BiDat converter. The coveted MTR-101 amplifier. So what's next for Ed? More of the same, of course.

Studio Client Comments:

"Ed's converters are the first DSD converters that was superior to anything I have ever heard. It is not an overstatement to say that Ed's analogue to digital and digital to analogue DSD converters have set a new standard of sound quality for digital audio. It turns out they are great PCM converters as well."
Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering Studios
(Phil Collins, Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Nirvana, and many more..)

"Ed Meitner's designs are the reference point for anyone serious about very high performance audio."
George Massenburg, George Massenburg Labs
(Multiple Grammy Award winning Engineer/Producer)

"One of the main reasons our client are happy with the high-res work we do is that it’s done using Ed Meitner's converter."
Bernie Grundman, Bernie Grundman Mastering

"I have used the ADC8 and the DAC8 on my recording projects and have never had such an overall satisfying recording experience. These converters are so transparent and accurate that they have changed the way I work."
Tom Jung, Recording/Mastering Engineer, DMP Records

"I will not do a session without out EMM Labs DSD converters or Switchman, they have become that much a part of my essential must-have list!"
Michael Bishop, Chief Recording Engineer, Telarc International Corporation

https://www.emmlabs.com/images/about/Ed_2.jpg

Bob Woods, President and Recording Engineer, Telarc International Corporation

"Ed Meitner's designs of audiophile equipment are and industry benchmark. He is now at the forefront of the movement to DSD technology."
James Guthrie, Grammy Award Winning Producer/Engineer (Pink Floyd)

Edwin Outwater, President, Musiktech Advisors Inc.
Recording/Mastering Engineer (MGM, Polygram, Warner Bros)

"The Meitner converters were leagues better than anything else available. Today, Ed's converters are the benchmark. If you are serious about high-resolution and audio in the general, DSD in particular, there is no other reference."

EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer -

https://www.emmlabs.com/images/meitner/ma3/MA-3_Front_1.jpg
EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer is at Musicraft (Derby)

Soundstage Ultra's October 2021 review of EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer -

"The term value gets thrown around a lot in this industry. Heck, I’ve already used it in this review, and I’ll tell you why: Meitner Audio’s MA3 DAC-preamplifier has redefined what I expect from a product of this kind that’s priced up to $15,000."

"The culmination of network streaming, Roon integration, local music file storage, and unflappable ergonomics supplemented by numerous proprietary technologies borrowed from the MA3’s more exotic brethren result in a product that not only redefines the benchmark in this price category, but raises the bar significantly. Yet again, Ed Meitner should be proud of what he and his team have created here, and the competition should be on alert. The Meitner Audio MA-3 is enthusiastically recommended!"

Introducing EMM Labs/Meitner Audio’s ground breaking MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer. The first of our next generation products. The MA3 combines Ed Meitner's proven world-class sound techniques from our beloved DA2 V2 and DV2 converters, with network audio streaming functions from our popular and simple to use NS1 Streamer - creating one sleek, affordable package to serve your greater enjoyment of music.

Soundstage Ultra's October 2021 review of EMM Labs/Meitner Audio's new MA3 proprietary DAC/Pre Amplifier/Streamer -

"The term value gets thrown around a lot in this industry. Heck, I’ve already used it in this review, and I’ll tell you why: Meitner Audio’s MA3 DAC-preamplifier has redefined what I expect from a product of this kind that’s priced up to $15,000."

"The culmination of network streaming, Roon integration, local music file storage, and unflappable ergonomics supplemented by numerous proprietary technologies borrowed from the MA3’s more exotic brethren result in a product that not only redefines the benchmark in this price category, but raises the bar significantly. Yet again, Ed Meitner should be proud of what he and his team have created here, and the competition should be on alert. The Meitner Audio MA-3 is enthusiastically recommended!"

VControl™ allows the end-user to connect the EMM Labs/Meitner Audio MA3 Integrated Converter directly to the amplification stage in their system. Embedded deeply into the signal path, VControl™ eliminates the need for an analogue preamplifier while maintaining the signal's quality through the volume range. It is one of many versatile technologies implemented into Meitner products to enhance the listening experience. Simply stunning performance & functionality.
