MaiA S3 Integrated Amplifier
Price: £539.00
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 and an integrated amplifier all into one compact chassis that perfectly complements other S3 products.
Boasting a massive eight inputs, 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.
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. There are also four analogue Line-level inputs, so radios, CD players and Tape decks can also be easily connected.
On top of its extensive list of connection options, MaiA S3 is also designed to put sound quality first. Pro-Ject’s extensive knowledge of premium audio has produced a sound signature that is surprisingly analogue in its feel, thanks to the brand new low-noise circuitry, built-around the dual-mono design principle. So, when matched with a set of good-quality matching speakers, MaiA S3 will punch well above its diminutive weight. The system can also be expanded with a subwoofer or a separate power amplifier thanks to the variable pre-amplifier output.
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.

Stereo Box DS2
Price: £749.00
Add £60 for wooden Side Cheeks
The Stereo Box DS2 is a high-power stereo integrated amplifier in the traditional style, but featuring modern conveniences and Pro-Ject‘s popular small footprint structure.
Designed to focus on two of the most common sources requested today, the Stereo Box DS2 features both a built-in phono stage and a built-in Bluetooth receiver. The phono stage draws from Pro-Ject's extensive experience with turntables and offers options for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. The Bluetooth input provides modern convenience, allowing for quick and easy pairing to smart devices for instantaneous high-quality music reproduction. There are also three additional RCA line inputs for adding other sources such as DACs, CD players or music streamers.
The Stereo Box DS2 features a dual-mono amplifier design principle, making it able to drive a huge range of speakers with ease. Such is the sophistication of the internal design, the amplifier will make any attached speakers come to life with powerful transients and a rich, wide and dynamic soundstage. For wider system integration, the Stereo Box DS2 also features fixed and variable RCA outputs (for active speakers or a subwoofer). For times when you need to keep quiet, there's also a 6.3mm headphone jack on the front panel that's driven by its own dedicated amplifier stage and has ample headroom to drive the best sounding headphones.
No corners were cut when designing the Stereo Box DS2. Though it's simple and convenient in its layout, and small enough to fit into any hi-fi system, the heart of the product still remains with its sound quality - and there it comfortably competes with much bigger designs.
Like all other DS2 products, the Stereo Box DS2 is available in a variety of finishes, including with or without retro styled wooden side panels (read our FAQ for more information).

Amp Box S3 Power Amplifier
Price: £269.00
The Amp Box S3 is an efficient, yet powerful, compact power amplifier with true stereo hi-fi credibility. Thanks to its clever internal design it delivers a warm, inviting musical performance with the sonic characteristics of a tube amplifier.
The Amp Box S3 boasts a new PCB concept and sophisticated topology in order to achieve less distortion and a better signal to noise ratio. This audio-focused internal design is also highly efficient, with very little wasted energy. It also brings you a rich and musical sound with a touch of analogue warmth, inspired by the sonic traits of more costly valve amplifiers. By squeezing this clever technology into a deceptively small footprint, the amplifier is suited to a variety of applications.
Ideally suited to room sizes up-to 15m2, depending on the matched speakers, the Amp Box S3 can be useful for nearfield hi-fi systems, powering in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, or for enhancing the performance of existing hi-fi and home cinema systems. With one stereo RCA input, a jack output, and trigger connections, it’s also possible to stack multiple amplifiers for bi- or tri-amplified systems.
Sitting on four rubberised feet and contained within a sturdy metal casework that boasts a clean, minimalist elegance for when it’s on show, the Amp Box S3 is designed to protect itself from electronic interference and vibration. The result is a purer musical signal that is true to the original recording, all presented in a spacious and comfortable sound stage.
