Meitner MA-1 DAC

DAC is in excellent condition and the only reason i am selling is that i upgraded to DAC2X V2.

Here are some quotes:

"transients were simply stunning"

"Exceedingly persuasive." "Uncompromising Meitner Design in an elegant, enjoyable, easy to use product"

"unequivocally the most enjoyable DAC"

"Wonderfully realistic." "Simply the best D/A converter for the price"

The Meitner MA-1:
• Supports sampling rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz at
word lengths up to 24 bits through all 6 digital inputs
• Complies with the USB Class 2 audio interface standard
• Is simple to use. There's nothing to configure. Just plug and play.

MFAST™ asynchronous technology
Feed the MA-1 through any of its six inputs and the Meitner Frequency Acquisition System (MFAST™) instantly acquires the signal, buffers it, then strips jitter out completely. A high-speed asynchronous system, it decouples input from output. MFAST™ ensures that you'll enjoy pristine sonic clarity whether the incoming data stream is pure or anything but.

MDAT™: 2x DSD upsampling
From there, the signal goes straight into the Meitner Digital Audio Translator (MDAT™) which upsamples digital audio to 5.6MHz, double the SACD standard sampling rate.
