Unlocking the full potential of network streaming, the NT-1 extends beyond traditional sources, delivering pure, stable and precise digital signals to elevate your Hi-Fi system. Inheriting and Upgrading Borrowing the advanced Hi-Fi streaming hardware from the Matrix Audio M Series, the NT-1 introduces a refined family design language and a next-generation display interface. Enhanced processing core for smooth playback Refined visual and interactive experience Future-ready platform with continuous updates Seamless User Experience The NT-1 is powered by the ever-evolving MA Player Hi-Fi Streamer OS, with intuitive control through the MA Remote App (iOS & Android). Effortless browsing of local, NAS, or cloud libraries One-touch control of playback and settings Simple and fluid user interaction across devices Unlimited Music Resources at Your Fingertips The NT-1 is built for ultimate flexibility in audio library management: NAS & Cloud Mounting – Directly mount your NAS or Baidu Netdisk Dual USB 3.0 Ports – Fast transfers and expansion One-Touch Copy – Quickly archive music files Auto CD Ripping & Playback – Connect a USB CD drive to rip or play discs NVMe SSD Slot – Expandable internal storage with ultra-quiet power regulation NAS Functionality – Share your music library seamlessly with other devices over SMB Intelligent System Integration Smart Wake-Up – Automatically powers on when playback begins Trigger Control – Linked DACs or amplifiers can switch on/off in sync Simplifies system operation for a seamless listening experience Advanced Clock Architecture Derived from Matrix Audio’s flagship models, the NT-1 offers two clock modes: Internal Clock Mode – Powered by a femtosecond clock with RF synthesiser for ultra-low phase noise External Clock Mode – Syncs with an external reference, such as the Matrix Audio SC-1, for even higher performance This precision clock system lays the foundation for stable, jitter-free audio transmission. Comprehensive Connectivity Multiple Digital Outputs Optical, Coaxial, AES/EBU, and IIS-LVDS outputs Connect seamlessly to DACs, amplifiers, and active speakers Digital volume control eliminates the need for an external preamp Isolated USB DAC Interface Dedicated audio-grade USB output with electrical isolation Independent transformer windings and low-noise regulators Reduces interference, ensuring pure, stable and high-resolution transmission Flexible Network Expansion The NT-1 includes SFP module support, enabling the use of fibre optic or Ethernet connections. When paired with Matrix Audio’s audiophile-grade network switches, it ensures maximum stability for high-resolution streaming. Full Linear Power Supply The NT-1’s dedicated 60W toroidal transformer features independent windings for different circuits. Combined with multiple low-noise LDO regulators, it provides: Independent power delivery for digital and USB DAC sections Reduced crosstalk and interference A stable foundation for exceptional sound quality Matrix Audio NT-1 – The Future of Digital Audio Transport The NT-1 represents Matrix Audio’s most advanced approach to network-based Hi-Fi streaming. With its audiophile-grade clock system, isolated USB DAC output, linear power architecture, and flexible network expansion, the NT-1 stands as the definitive choice for audiophiles seeking uncompromised digital purity.
