The Matrix Audio Element X-2 Music Streamer is a full-featured all-in-one digital audio source designed to simplify high-end two-channel systems while delivering reference-level sound quality. Combining a network streamer, DAC, preamplifier, and fully balanced headphone amplifier, the Element X-2 plays local files, NAS libraries, and high-resolution streaming services with exceptional precision. Equipped with optical, coaxial, USB Audio, IIS-LVDS, HDMI ARC, and analog line inputs, it seamlessly integrates digital and analog sources, including TVs, CD players, and turntables with line output. A high-performance preamplifier with up to 15.8Vrms output allows direct connection to power amplifiers or active speakers, eliminating the need for an external preamp. The built-in fully balanced headphone amplifier delivers high current, low distortion, and excellent control over any headphone. Advanced femtosecond clocking, isolated power supplies, Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a 3.46-inch touchscreen with MA Player OS and MA Remote App make the Element X-2 a powerful, elegant centerpiece for modern hi-fi and home entertainment systems.
