I'm clearing out some of my unused audio equipment. Up for sale here is my Meitner MA-1 DAC in a gorgeous black finish. This is the original MA-1, not the v2 upgrade. I purchased this as an open box unit in December 2011 for US$4,700: the original retail price was US$7,000. I used this in my TV/gaming setup for a couple years but it has been boxed up for several years now and I'm ready to pass it on to someone else.

The MA-1 was the first product for Meitner Audio and took a lot of the technology from EMM Labs state-of-the-art gear and packaged it at a more reasonable price point. It has a ton of digital inputs that should fit any setup (USB, AES/EBU, 2x Toslink, 2x coaxial S/PDIF) and offers both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analogue out. I have used all the inputs in the past and tested the USB and Toslink inputs specifically before this listing and they were both working well.

Cosmetically, the unit is in great shape. It comes with the remote control, user manual, power cord, and original double box. If you are interested, it can be upgraded by Meitner Audio in Calgary to the MA-1 v2 version. When I inquired about doing so last year, the cost to do the upgrade was US$1,750.

I can accept payments via PayPal (goods and services). I am in the US but am willing to ship to other countries. Shipping is not included in the asking price.

Please let me know what questions you have. Thank you.
