MaiA DS2: A new generation stereo amplifier with superior sound, App control & future-proof technology!

This small integrated amplifier offers outstanding audio quality and ultimate input flexibility with all digital and analogue input options you can dream of. Superior tube-like sound and a high-class 24bit/192kHz D/A converter stage are combined in a perfect way. Despite its small size, 9 (!) source devices can be connected simultaneously. MaiA DS2 is one of the most versatile products on the market, it offers analogue phono and line as well as digital inputs such as lossless streaming via aptX Bluetooth! Five analogue outputs leave no desire unfulfilled. MaiA DS2 is future-proof and can be upgraded with PowerBox MaiA DS2 for even better sound. PowerBox MaiA DS2 acts as „One power supply“ solution and powers up to 5 Pro-Ject products, like CD, Streamer and turntable. Control via IR remote or App makes usage a piece of a cake. The sandwich aluminium/metal casing is aesthetically pleasing and protects effectively against interferences. MaiA DS2 is available in silver or black with optional wooden side panels.

MaiA DS2 – Free App control (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 via free App. If a mobile device with activated Bluetooth (paired with MaiA DS2) control does not need a WiFi environment at all. The system is working even during Bluetooth music playback.

Who is Project?

Project started in the hifi business designing and manufacturing affordable stereo turntables in the early 1990's, beginning with the entry-level Debut model. It was a great success, like all other turntables on the market at that time were at least  £100 more expensive, without offering a performance benefit. Project has gone on to extend the range of turntables they offer at all popular price points and performance levels, through midrange to high-end models.
