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.
