MaiA DS3
Stereo integrated amplifier with 9 inputs
Made In Europe
Often overlooked, but never overheard
The MaiA DS3 (My audio integrated Amplifier) is our new reworked all-in-one compact amplifier solution. It combines both, analogue and digital inputs to suit all different sources. With its 140 watts per channel at 4 ohms you can easily power your favourite speakers. The whole electronics are packed into a beautiful machined full aluminium case which protects it against outer interferences.
Versatile input & output options
The MaiA DS3 offers nine inputs. Ready for digital or analog sources, wired or wireless – you’re covered. The phono section can handle MM, MI, or high output MC cartridges. Hook up your tuner or any other analog device to one of the three line-level RCA inputs. The DAC section allows a coax and two optical connections, as well as an USB input. The high definition aptX™ HD Bluetooth 5.0 wireless input allows streaming your favorite music via your phone. The variable RCA outputs also allow you to include a subwoofer or another power amplifier in your setup. Use the fixed output to distribute the audio signal to another device unaffected by the volume control to feed an audio recorder, for example.

Reviews
Very confident and authoritative
UK, 04.2023
• Beefier Class D amplification and smart engineering have elevated the versatile MaiA DS concept into a third-generation ‘box’ that plays with authority and just enough finesse. Treating even Bluetooth streaming with respect, this is Pro-Ject’s vision of ‘hi-fi for the masses’.
Who needs more?
