Pro-Ject MaiA DS3 Integrated Amplifier
9 different analgoe and digital inputs
Heavy aluminium casing protects against interference
140 watts per channel at 4 ohms
The MaiA DS3 (My audio integrated Amplifier) is a reworked all-in-one compact amplifier solution. It combines both analogue and digital inputs to suit almost any source that you can throw its way. With 140 watts per channel at 4 ohms the MaiA DS3 makes it a breeze to power your favourite speakers. All of the sophisticated electronics are neatly packed inside a beautifully machined, full-aluminium case which, as well as looking fantastically good, protects your music against outer interferences from vibrations, wireless, or electronic signals.
The true advantage of the MaiA DS3 becomes clear when examining the multitude of inputs and outputs. A phono input for MM or MC applications, three line inputs for CD, tuners etc, two S/PDIF optical and a S/PDIF Coax connection for a TV or games console, a USB input and a Bluetooth 5 AptX HD connection for playing audio from your computer and wireless devices.
The headphone out port allows private enjoyment of your music for when life necessitates such a thing. Or, connect your speakers via 4mm banana plugs, spades or naked wires to the gold plated speaker outputs and link up your subwoofer via the variable RCA outputs to listen loud. The fixed output can be used to route your audio signal to another device unaffected by the volume control, allowing for use of an audio recorder, for example. Together this impressive array gives true flexibility in use and allows the MaiA DS3 to slot seamlessly into your system.
To further the ease of use the MaiA DS3 is supplied with a remote control that allows you to switch your input and, thanks to the motor driven potentiometer, adjust your volume smoothly.
The MaiA DS3 is carefully designed and handmade in Europe, where Pro-Ject aim to develop technically flawless products in housings that are only ever as big as they need to be. Available in either black or silver finish; wooden side panels are available separately to further style your system, check out the FAQ for more information on how these can be purchased.
