Peter, UK

Everything I liked from the MA3 is there but with so much more depth and transparency  etc . Its quite an achievement!

16xDSD MDAC2™ and MDAT2™ DSP

Like our new EMM Labs flagship converters, the MA3i utilizes our next generation MDAC2™ fully discrete, single-bit, 16xDSD D-to-A converters. It also has our updated MDAT2™ DSP, delivering real-time transient detection and up-conversion of all incoming audio, resulting in stunning clarity and precision.

Latest Generation VControl™

Our latest VControl™ system, inherited from the EMM Labs DV2i, provides unmatched transparency at any volume, ensuring no loss of resolution while offering an expansive range of volume control with absolute sonic integrity.

MFAST™, MCLK3™ & New Power Systems for USB and Network

The MA3i incorporates our updated frequency acquisition protocol (MFAST™) and new asynchronous clock (MCLK3™), reducing jitter to industry-defying levels. The updated input and power isolation systems utilize advanced filtering and galvanic isolation, providing superior noise reduction and isolation for both USB and network connections, ensuring optimal sound quality.

Advanced Network Streaming System

With a more powerful network streaming platform, the MA3i grants effortless access to high-resolution services like TIDAL/TIDAL Connect and QOBUZ, while still supporting popular platforms such as Spotify, Deezer, and vTuner. It offers enhanced UPnP/DLNA support for NAS playback, ROON READY/ENDPOINT functionality, along with direct USB audio file playback for a seamless, modern listening experience.

Best High-End DAC

The EMM Labs MA3i D/A Converter is a superb electrical engineering accomplishment. Its standout feature is vanishingly low harmonic distortion. Remember, though, what gets to the speakers is limited by the highest distortion component in the signal chain, including the speakers, for that matter.
