Description
Our original MaiA was a compact integrated amplifier with ultimate input flexibility, that avoids compromising the sound quality. It is offering all digital and analog input options you can dream of combined with an amplifier stage, that delivers outstanding tube-like sound (Flying Mole modules) and a high-class 24bit/192kHz D/A converter stage. Now it is time to introduce our MaiA into our S2 product line with modern looks, a new all-aluminum case, and an improved board layout. The astonishing feature-set remains the same as before!
The improved case and board layout result in better shielding of electromagnetic interference further improving the already excellent audio performance: No matter which input you choose, a real musical sound with lifelike characteristics is guaranteed.
This stylish amplifier offers low noise and solid output power for audiophile playback in smaller rooms around 1,000 sq/ft when partnered with high-quality speakers.
Additionally, a subwoofer or another power amplifier can be connected. A headphone 6,3mm connection is also provided. The included remote control makes usage a piece of cake.
