Description

DV2 integrated D/A Converter

The DV2 builds on EMM Labs’ ground breaking technology used in our flagship, multi-award winning DA2 converter by integrating EMM’s high resolution volume control system (VControl™) into our discrete, single bit converter.

VControl™ maintains the input signal without re-quantization allowing for complete transparency at any volume setting, wide attenuation range, and no loss of audio resolution.

16xDSD MDAC2™ and MDAT2™ DSP

MDAC2™ is the worlds first fully discrete single-bit D-to-A converter with an internal conversion rate of 1024fs (16xDSD) and is completely free of inherent non-linearity that plagues every mass market chip created to date.

Our MDAT2™ DSP has been refined and updated to synergistically work with the MDAC2™. The MDAT2™ DSP performs real-time transient detection in addition to processing and up-conversion of all incoming audio before being sent to the MDAC2™ for conversion.

USB Isolation, MFAST™ and MCLK2™

The USB interface includes EMM’s proprietary hardware galvanic isolation. In combination with MFAST™, our high-speed asynchronous jitter removal technology and and MCLK2™ our custom built clock, jitter is completely removed from the conversion process.

The DV2 features a multitude of inputs and support for PCM up to 24bit/192kHz, DSD, 2xDSD, DXD, and for the first time in any EMM Labs product, MQA® via USB.

With its redesigned analog and digital systems, integrated high resolution volume control, discrete componentry, and user-friendly operation, the DV2 can be connected directly to the amplification stage in any high fidelity system with ease. Designed and manufactured in Canada for the digital audio enthusiast.

Why Choose EMM Labs

EMM Labs and Meitner Audio represent some of the most important and influential digital audio engineering in the world today. Founded by legendary Canadian designer Ed Meitner, the brands are built around decades of pioneering work in high-resolution digital playback and DSD conversion technology. In fact, Ed Meitner played a major role in the original development of DSD DAC technology itself, helping shape many of the digital playback principles still respected within high-end audio today.

What makes EMM Labs and Meitner particularly special is that the critical technologies inside the products are developed entirely in-house. Rather than relying on generic DAC chipsets or third-party streaming platforms, the company designs its own proprietary DAC architecture, streaming engine, clocking systems, analogue stages, power supplies, and volume control technologies. This allows EMM Labs to engineer a complete digital playback system with extraordinary control over timing accuracy, noise reduction, and overall musical performance.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, these products consistently stand apart for their ability to reproduce music with exceptional dimensionality and holographic sound staging. Instruments and vocals are presented within a remarkably stable and believable acoustic space, allowing recordings to feel less like left and right speakers and more like musicians occupying physical positions within the room. The sense of depth, layering, and natural spatial separation is genuinely captivating, particularly within highly resolving systems.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Canada, EMM Labs and Meitner products are engineered around Ed Meitner’s proprietary MDAC and VControl technologies together with fully discrete analogue stages and carefully implemented low-noise power supplies. The result is a highly integrated digital platform designed specifically for musical realism and long-term listening satisfaction.

Sonically, these products are known for their extraordinary smoothness, tonal realism, and highly holographic presentation. Music emerges from an exceptionally quiet background with remarkable image stability and natural spatial depth. Rather than sounding flat or mechanically separated, instruments and vocals occupy clearly defined positions within the soundstage, creating an immersive and highly three-dimensional listening experience.

There is also a remarkable sense of ease to the presentation. Even highly complex recordings remain fluid, spacious, and emotionally engaging without becoming fatiguing or overly analytical. This ability to combine exceptional resolution with natural musical flow is one of the defining qualities that continues to make EMM Labs and Meitner products so respected amongst serious digital listeners worldwide.

The EMM Labs DV2i is widely regarded by many experienced listeners as one of the finest DAC streamer platforms currently available, combining world-class digital resolution with a deeply natural and musically convincing presentation. The Meitner MA3i captures much of this same philosophy and proprietary technology within a more accessible platform, making the Meitner sound and engineering approach available to a broader audience.

EMM Labs Product Range

The EMM Labs and Meitner ranges available through HeyNow Hi-Fi focus on high-performance DAC streamers and reference-level digital playback solutions designed for serious music systems. Across both brands, the emphasis remains firmly on proprietary engineering, low-noise design, and preserving the natural integrity of digital music playback.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced system setup team provide assistance with network integration, streamer configuration, digital system matching, and optimisation to ensure EMM Labs and Meitner products perform at their full potential within each customer’s listening environment.
