Music streamer and integrated amplifier<\/p>\n

<\/h2><\/div>

Matrix Audio’s MD-1 and MD-1P combine everything that the beating heart of streaming audio desires with a digitally controlled, analog volume control and power amplifier! And that in the chic, M-Series aluminum housing with Matrix’s typical perforation pattern. Moreover, Matrix Audio has truly developed the MD-1 and MD-1P as the epicenter of a high-quality yet minimalist high-end system. Everything has been considered; HDMI-eArc input, USB Audio input, XLR and RCA analog inputs, RCA phono input for MM cartridges, HD Bluetooth, slot for NVMe SSD cards, direct CD-rip function with optional USB CD drive, pre out and subwoofer outputs. In short, you name it!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Now, functionality is of course nowhere without sound quality, but this is precisely where Matrix Audio always convinces. AKM\u2019s AK4493SEQ is the foundation for the digital-to-analog conversion. Guided by Matrix Audio\u2019s own Femto Second Clock system with self-developed jitter reduction algorithms, this lays the groundwork for a super accurate and distortion-free analog signal. The analog volume control features 256 steps from -80 to +12dB, with engineers dedicating a lot of attention to perfect channel balance, even at low listening volumes. After the volume control, the music signal is amplified by a power amplifier circuit based on the famous nCore switching technology. Perhaps the best Class D amplifier technology on the market. Super efficient, high power, and ultra-low distortion figures result in a crystal-clear sound that is both nimble and solid. We are quite impressed with these models that – when you add up all the features with the sound quality, are hard to beat in this price range!<\/p>\n<\/div>
