Meitner MA-1 – neuer Review in „Ultra High-End“

Geschrieben am Veröffentlicht in High-End

Vom Online-Magazin „Ultra High-End Audio and Home Theatre Review“ stammt eine neue Besprechung des Meitner MA-1 DAC.

Sie ist deshalb besonders interessant und aufschlußreich, als der Autor in der glücklichen Situation war, den fast doppelt so teuren dCS Debussy im Vergleich zu hören.

„The Debussy excels at low-level detail retrieval, transparency, and soundstaging. String tone is exemplary. The MA-1 excels at coherence, smoothness, and rhythm and pace. Dynamics are exciting. Both have noteworthy low-frequency articulation and high-frequency extension. Both are eminently musical. Which one is best? Since they sound different, declaring one best is too simplistic. Which one is best for you depends on synergy with the other components in your system, and perhaps more importantly, your musical sensibilities. In other words, aesthetic considerations. An investment of this magnitude demands a personal audition. Though you may prefer one over the other, I seriously doubt you would be unhappy with either.“

Frank Berryman konstatiert zusammenfassend:

„The Meitner MA-1 is a remarkable DAC. Offering the full panoply of inputs, and processing at word lengths and sample rates up to 24/192 and DSD, it is all the DAC you are ever likely to need, and, given its virtually faultless performance, is all the DAC you are ever likely to want. The only significant short-coming I could find with the MA-1 is its lack of volume control, thus necessitating the use of an analog preamplifier. But then you probably already have one in your system now. Seek out the Meitner MA-1 for an audition. You will be well rewarded.“

Dem ist nur zuzustimmen: der musikalische Fluß des Meitner ist einfach beeindruckend. Ein persönlicher Hörtest in aller Ausführlichkeit ist auf jeden Fall anzuraten.
