Despite its small size, the MiaA DS2 can accommodate a full nine source devices connected simultaneously. It is one of the most versatile products on the market, offering analog phono and line stage inputs as well as digital inputs such as lossless streaming using aptX Bluetooth. Five analog outputs contribute to the capability and flexibility.

Room-Filling Sound
The MaiA DS2 will easily fill your room with sound, thanks to its powerful 135 watts per channel (2 ohms drive capability). Its circuitry uses a dual mono design principle for best quality balanced sound. A premium volume control with a motor driven potentiometer gives you great sound and easy, precision remote control. Included are fixed and variable outputs for a subwoofer or a second zone amp.
Built-in Phono Stage and Headphone Stage
You don't need an external phono preamplifier to hook up your turntable. MaiA DS2 has a phono input plus a built-in phono pre-amplifier with MM moving magnet and MC moving coil capability for superb performance with almost any phono cartridge.
With many hi-fi components, a headphone jack is merely an afterthought and isn't implemented correctly for gest sound quality. But not so with MaiA DS2. For enjoyable private listening, it includes a headphone output coupled to a dedicated amplifier stage. You'll love how it sounds with your favorite pair of 'phones.
App Control with Built-in Remote Box Functionality
What makes this amplifier absolutely unique is the built in Box Control system, which allows easy control of this and other IR controlled devices from Pro-Ject using the free control app from Pro-Ject. A mobile device with activated Bluetooth (paired with MaiA DS2) control does not need WiFi environment at all. The control system works even during Bluetooth music playback. Additionally, the MaiA DS2 includes an IR remote for those times when you prefer not to use your phone or other mobile device for control.
Effective and Attractive Enclosure
The sandwich aluminum / metal casing is aesthetically pleasing and effectively protects the internal electronic circuitry against airborne interference. MaiA DS2 is attractive, too, boasting sleek, minimalist design and ergonomic engineering.
