MATRIX AUDIO MS-1P

Streamer with Preamplifier.

The MS-1P is a device equipped with an integrated preamplifier featuring a resistor array volume control. This preamplifier is the result of a careful combination of numerous audiophile components, including multi-stage operational amplifiers that offer a +10dB gain, allowing the MS-1P to output a signal of up to 16Vrms. This makes it possible to connect the MS-1P directly to a power amplifier or active speakers. In terms of technical performance, the MS-1P’s integrated preamplifier matches the network player in terms of quality. It offers an exceptionally low distortion level with excellent channel coherence, even at low volume levels. In addition to preamplified RCA and XLR outputs, the MS-1P also features a fixed XLR output (5Vrms).

The MS-1P streamer provides access to a wide range of audio sources, including numerous local network streaming services such as Airplay 2, UPnP, DLNA, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, as well as high-resolution online streaming services like HighRES AUDIO, Tidal, and Qobuz. Additionally, it allows access to countless existing online radio stations (Radio Paradise, VTuner, etc.) and locally stored files on SSD, USB Disk, or local NAS.

On the rear of the MS-1P, multiple digital inputs allow it to be connected to any type of source, such as CD players, video game consoles, TVs, and of course, computers, tablets, and smartphones.

The design of the MS-1P features the exclusive "CreationMatrix" structure, focusing on the software experience quality. Notable technical features include PCM resampling support and DSD conversion, IIS-LVDS digital output, analog and phono input, digital audio input, preamplifier with dual balanced output, dual D/A chip with independent channel design, precise volume control through resistors, DPLL with high-precision clock, expandable SFP fiber optic network port, NVMe SSD slot, square copper wire transformer and linear power, H-shaped chassis structure, elegant industrial design, and refined build quality, all contributing to a pure and clear sound.
