The Matrix Audio MS-1 Music Streamer is a flagship high-end network player and DAC designed for audiophiles seeking uncompromising sound quality, flexibility, and refined industrial design. Built on the advanced MA Player Hi-Fi streaming platform, the MS-1 delivers bit-perfect playback with a streamlined Linux-based architecture optimized exclusively for audio performance. At its core is a true dual-mono D/A architecture featuring AK4191 + AK4499 flagship DAC chipsets, with fully independent left and right channel PCB layouts for exceptional dynamic range, low noise, and precise musical detail. The MS-1 functions as a complete digital hub, offering USB, optical, coaxial, and IIS-LVDS digital inputs, along with balanced and unbalanced analog inputs and a MM/MC phono stage—all converted via high-precision ADC and available for digital output. A built-in high-performance preamplifier with precision resistor-array volume control drives power amplifiers or active speakers directly, while an NVMe SSD slot enables fast, silent internal music storage. Controlled entirely via the MA Remote App, the MS-1 redefines reference-grade streaming convenience.
