Matrix Audio proudly presents the NT-1, a groundbreaking masterpiece designed for audiophiles in pursuit of perfection. This high-end digital audio transport unlocks the vast world of network streaming, extending beyond the limitations of traditional audio sources, and infuses your audio system with new energy. Our Take With the NT-1, Matrix Audio introduces a new family design language, equipped with the same Hi-Fi streaming hardware as the M Series. With a powerful processor upgrade and a next-level display enhancement, the NT-1 delivers a brand-new experience that captivates both your ears and eyes. Ensure Pure Audio Transmission NT-1 features an audio-specific USB DAC interface with electrical isolation. It not only effectively reduces transmission noise but also isolates the USB port ground wire from the device ground wire, fundamentally reducing noise and interference during audio transmission and ensuring the purity of the audio signal. The power supply system is built with a 60W toroidal transformer and multiple LDOs. The power for the digital audio processing core and the USB DAC interface is supplied by two independent windings of the transformer, ensuring stable operation of each part and effectively reducing noise interference. This linear power supply is unique, with independent windings and a precise, low-noise regulator circuit, providing the USB DAC interface with a dedicated power supply isolated from the digital part, further ensuring audio transmission stability and low noise, and bringing you the ultimate Hi-Fi experience. This clock system is based on the flagship Matrix Audio model, which offers dual modes. In internal clock mode, the femtosecond clock serves as a reference for the RF synthesizer, providing a highly stable, low-phase-noise audio clock. In external clock mode, the incoming clock signals become the reference for the RF synthesizer, outputting an audio clock that is highly stable, low-phase-noise, and phase-synchronized with the input clock. Unlimited Resources at Your Fingertips Access an extensive library of high-resolution music, including TIDAL, Qobuz, HIGHRESAUDIO, and internet radio - all seamlessly integrated into one device. Supports various high-resolution audio streaming protocols over local networks, including Roon Ready, Audirvana, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, QPlay, and UPnP/DLNA.
