Matrix Audio TT-1

Network Transport / Streaming Bridge for uncompromising digital music playback

The Matrix Audio TT-1 is a high-quality network transport (streaming bridge) for discerning hi-fi enthusiasts. As a purely digital source, it consciously avoids an integrated D/A converter, instead delivering an exceptionally clean digital signal to your external DAC. State-of-the-art clock technology, high-quality power supply, and the powerful MA Player OS create the ideal foundation for audiophile-grade music enjoyment at a reference level.

Hi-Res Audio up to 32-bit / 768 kHz and DSD512

Experience your music in the highest resolution. The TT-1 supports PCM up to 32-bit / 768 kHz as well as DSD512 (24.58 MHz / Octa-DSD) and provides your external D/A converter with a high-precision, lossless digital signal with maximum detail and dynamics.

Streaming without boundaries

Easily access your entire music collection and leading streaming services. The TT-1 supports TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, DLNA/UPnP, vTuner as well as local music libraries on USB drives, NAS systems, cloud services, or an optionally installed SSD.

Optimized for external high-end DACs

The TT-1 was developed specifically as a digital source for high-quality D/A converters. In addition to USB DAC, I²S-LVDS, AES/EBU, coaxial, and optical, the streamer features a specifically optimized USB output with precisely matched transmission impedance. This minimizes interference and ensures an especially clean signal transmission.

Roon Ready and Apple AirPlay 2

As an officially Roon Ready certified network player, the TT-1 integrates seamlessly into modern multi-room and hi-fi systems. With Apple AirPlay 2, you can stream music wirelessly directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac in outstanding sound quality.

Dual Femto Clock for maximum precision

Two ultra-low-noise femto clocks handle the separate timing for 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz-based sample rates. Together with FPGA-controlled signal processing and separate low-noise voltage regulators, jitter and timing errors are reduced to a minimum – for an exceptionally precise, spacious, and natural music playback.

Network via Gigabit LAN or Wi-Fi 6

Whether wired or wireless – the TT-1 offers maximum flexibility. In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, the streamer supports modern Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) for stable and fast high-resolution music playback.

Music server with SSD expansion

The integrated M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD slot allows the TT-1 to be expanded into a powerful music server. The music library is then available throughout the entire home network, while the TT-1 simultaneously serves as a NAS for other compatible streaming devices.

CD ripping and local music playback

Connect an external USB CD drive and archive your CDs losslessly on an optionally installed SSD, a USB drive, or on the network. Alternatively, audio CDs can be played directly via the connected drive.

Flexible power supply with upgrade potential

A high-quality power supply unit with multiple low-noise regulators provides a stable and low-interference power supply as standard. For the highest audiophile demands, an external 12-volt linear power supply can be connected. The internal AC power supply is automatically disconnected to further enhance the sound potential.

Digital volume control

When combined with active speakers or digital power amplifiers, the TT-1 can control volume directly in the digital domain. This eliminates the need for a separate preamplifier, allowing for a particularly elegant and space-saving system setup.

Convenient operation with the MA Remote App

The modern MA Player OS and the intuitive MA Remote App for Android and iOS enable convenient control of all functions – from music playback and streaming services to system settings.

Smart Wake-Up and trigger control

The TT-1 automatically wakes from standby when playback starts. Via the integrated 12-volt trigger output, connected DACs or amplifiers can also be activated automatically, ensuring maximum convenience.

High-quality CNC aluminum housing

The precision-milled aluminum housing impresses not only with its high-quality finish but also reliably protects the sensitive audio technology from vibrations as well as electromagnetic and high-frequency interference. The elegant design integrates harmoniously into the new Matrix Audio product family and underscores the uncompromising high-end aspirations of the TT-1.
