My Audiophile Integrated Amplifier, or MaiA, represents all that is good about modern hi-fi. It’s compact, powerful, feature-rich, elegant and affordable. Benefiting from Pro-Ject’s many years of success in the micro hi-fi realm, it brings a DAC, a phono stage, a wireless receiver, a headphone amplifier, Bluetooth 5.0 input with aptX HD support and an integrated amplifier all into one compact chassis that perfectly complements other S3 products.
Boasting a massive eight inputs (five analogue inputs, including one MM phono input, and three digital inputs utilising built-in 24-bit/192kHz DAC), the MaiA S3 is designed to accommodate any modern source, including turntables, CD players, network music players and wireless devices. This is what starters with ambitious home audio systems need: A small integrated amplifier with ultimate input flexibility, future-proof technology and a core focus on uncompromising sound quality.
The variable RCA output also allows you to include a subwoofer in your setup.
Through its built-in Cirrus Logic CS4344 DAC chip, capable of handling up to 24-bit / 192kHz digital audio files, MaiA S3 easily handles most common digital audio formats. Additionally, working with aptX HD technology, MaiA S3 is also capable of streaming high-resolution audio wirelessly when the supplied Bluetooth antenna is connected.
As well as accommodating for modern and future audio technologies, MaiA S3 is also equipped to support traditional hi-fi sources. The built-in Moving Magnet phono stage is based upon Pro-Ject’s iconic Phono Box designs and produces an impressive sound performance.
MaiA S3 is finished off with a 6.3mm headphone socket, for when using speakers isn’t an option, and control is effortlessly simple, whether using the supplied remote control or the front-mounted buttons. With the S3 series’ new all-aluminium casework in a slightly larger size than previous generations, MaiA S3 is a delight – both audibly and visually.

Pro-Ject Maia S3 Integrated Amp Review
"From my perspective, I’d rather have 23 good watts than 100 indifferent ones and the Maia S3 delivers a performance and flexibility across those connections that is hard to match at the price."

Product Of The Month Review
"That's the story throughout this little amplifier with a big heart. It may seem at first glance to be something of a niche product, but it deserves much wider consideration than that might suggest."
