MaiA S3
Compact stereo amplifier with timeless design & future-proof technology!
The MaiA S3 continues Pro-Ject's tradition of building versatile amplifiers with a smaller footprint. Ready for digital or analogue sources, wired or wireless – you’re covered, and the MaiA S3 is also at the ready for MM cartridges. You can hook up your tuner or any other analogue device to one of the three line-level RCA inputs, whilst the DAC section allows one coaxial and two optical connections. Moving to wireless connections, the high definition aptX™ HD Bluetooth 5.0 input allows you to stream your favourite music via smartphone. The newly-designed casework goes even further in blocking electromagnetic interference than in previous models and perfectly matches other Pro-Ject S3 components.
Despite its Size, Eight Source Devices Can be Connected Simultaneously:
- High-quality phono MM + high output MC preamp
- T3 analogue line level inputs
- Digital coax input (up to 24 bit/192 kHz)
- 2 Toslink (optical) inputs (up to 24 bit/96 kHz)
- Wireless Bluetooth streaming (5.0 aptX HD) input with dedicated antenna
