Description



The source device is the heart of an audio system.
The hardware provides the body of the MS-1, while the software is its soul.
Our focus is not just on audio quality, but also on the user experience.
We simplify human-machine interaction and focus on the display of musical information on the device’s screen.
We insist on allowing you to comfortably control your entire audio system from your listening position, taking your phone or tablet to operate it via the MA Remote app, rather than frequently getting up to touch the device.
Even from basic functions such as volume change, track selection and playback to configurations such as filters, operating modes and screen brightness, everything can be done on the app.
All this is supported by our meticulously developed MA Player software system.
The MS-1 has a pure sound with a natural, balanced tone that stays true to the music without any coloration.
It accurately interprets every detail of the music with a rational, neutral attitude, providing your system with a clear source.
Every detail of the M series embodies our quest for excellence.
Everything you hear, see and touch is the Matrix Audio team’s final presentation through continuous trial and error, meticulous polishing and meticulous calibration.
We persevere tirelessly, striving to make things more beautiful and the sound more captivating.
MATRIX MS-1 preamplifier version: the MS-1 PRE
The MS-1 PRE features an integrated preamplifier with resistor network volume control.
This preamplifier is itself the result of the sum of many audiophile components, such as multi-stage operational amplifiers offering +10dB gain and enabling the MS-1 PRE to deliver a signal of up to 16Vrms.
This allows the MS-1 PRE to be connected directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers.
In terms of technical performance, the MS-1 PRE’s integrated preamplifier matches the performance of the network player.
Indeed, it offers a very low level of distortion with excellent channel coherence, even at low volume.
In addition to the preamplified RCA and XLR outputs, the MS-1 PRE also features a fixed XLR output (5Vrms).

Matrix MS-1 PRE: a multitude of digital sources and inputs
The MS-1 PRE streamer gives you access to a multitude of audio sources.
These include numerous local network streaming services such as Airplay 2, UPnP, DLNA, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, as well as high-resolution online streaming services such as HighRES AUDIO, Tidal and Quobuz.
Of course, you can also take advantage of the many existing online radio stations (Radio Paradise, VTuner, etc.) and your files stored locally on SSDs, USB disks and local NAS.
On the rear of the MS-1 PRE, numerous digital inputs let you connect it to any source, such as a CD player, video game console, TV and, of course, your computer, tablet and smartphone.
