Pro-Ject MaiA S3 Integrated Amp with MM Phono Preamp, DAC and Bluetooth Receiver - Pro-Ject

The MaiA S3 is the all-in-one solution for your hi-fi system. Not only has the circuit design been reworked, but the enclosure has been enlarged as well. The larger footprint allows for an improved circuitry layout in terms of electromagnetic interference. With 8 total inputs, MaiA S3 is ready for any combination of sources.

Sources Galore
MaiA S3 offers a phono RCA input for MM, MI or high-output MC cartridges as well as three RCA line-level inputs for sources such as CD players. You can also connect digital sources such as your TV and/or a CD transport via the digital coax or optical S/PDIF inputs to recruit MaiA S3’s DAC with a quality up to 24bit/192kHz. If you want to stream your music from your mobile phone, tablet or pc you can simply connect to the high definition AptX HD-capable Bluetooth 5.0 input and achieve quality up to 24bit/48kHz (better than standard CD quality).

Listen How You Like
MaiA S3 also provides versatile output options. It’s headphone-ready for private listening, or connect your speakers via the 4mm banana plugs and the low-noise amplifier will provide musical sound with lifelike characteristics. The variable RCA output also allows you to use a subwoofer or a second power amplifier in your system.

This integrated amplifier accommodates all your sources and delivers music in outstanding quality. With the supplied remote control you can adjust the volume with the motor-driven analog potentiometer as well as toggle among inputs. MaiA S3 is designed and assembled in Europe (available in black or silver!).
