Initial Shipment To Canada Due In Mid June Or So. Please Pre-Order To Obtain One From The First Shipment. Thank You.
The new Matrix Audio TS-1 is a new-generation all-in-one solution for headphone and active monitor audiophiles. Adhering to the core philosophy of "simplifying complexity", the TS-1 seamlessly integrates a streamer, DAC and headphone amplifier into one compact device. Pair it with your favorite headphones or active speakers, and you'll have a high-quality Hi-Fi system ready to go. Whether you’re a digital audio guy seeking convenience or a discerning audiophile with picky ears for sound quality, the TS-1 offers a one-stop solution that strips away the unnecessary and brings music back to its pure essence. The TS-1 delivers a significant leap in performance. Its upgraded display and the continuously evolving MA Player Hi-Fi Streaming OS, paired with the MA Remote App, provide seamless compatibility with both iOS and Android devices. Whether using a smartphone or tablet, you'll experience an effortlessly smooth and intuitive user experience.
The TS-1 is designed with the concept of an "all-scenario audio center," it features five input interfaces: optical, coaxial, USB Audio, HDMI ARC, and RCA analog inputs. Whether it is in living room entertainment, in a desktop setup, a vinyl system, or modern streaming music, all audio sources can be seamlessly connected to achieve "one device for all scenarios". Effortlessly switch audio sources using the IR remote or the MA Remote App. With high-standard XLR and RCA analog output interfaces, building an active speaker system becomes easier. No need to worry about amplifier matching or complex wiring—whether creating a desktop Hi-Fi system or enhancing your living room entertainment, you can achieve studio-quality sound in a minimalist way. The analog outputs offer two output voltage settings, catering to active speakers with different gain requirements.
The TS-1 features 6.35mm unbalanced and 4.4mm balanced outputs, the new fully balanced, high-bias discrete headphone amplifier has an output impedance of just 1 ohm. This ensures effective voltage dynamics, even with low-impedance, high-sensitivity headphones. Especially tuned for modern high-resolution headphones, it maintains high-frequency extension while subtly restraining the highs for a more comfortable, long-term listening experience. With a two-level output voltage setting, it effortlessly handles both low-impedance IEMs and high-impedance full-sized headphones.
A newly added subwoofer output specifically handles audio frequencies below 150Hz with synchronized volume control of the line output. With this interface, you can easily connect an active subwoofer to compensate for the limited low-frequency extension of small active speakers. Whether you're enjoying music or watching TV, it creates a more immersive audio experience and opens up new possibilities for a 2.1-channel setup.
The TS-1 features a fully balanced design from digital to analog, each channel is equipped with an AK4493SEQ chip, with its dual DAC units operating in parallel. This configuration significantly enhances dynamic range, bringing richer sound details and more distinct layering. Notably, the power supply sections of the two DAC chips are completely independent, with each chip powered by a dual-channel ultra-low-noise LDO. This ensures that the performance of the DAC chips is fully unleashed, delivering pure, high-fidelity audio output.
The TS-1 is equipped with two compact ultra-low phase noise femtosecond clocks, each dedicated to serving as the clock reference for 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling rates and their multiples. Powered by independent low-noise linear regulators, and with intelligent control through FPGA, it automatically handles frequency division and switching operations. This design lays a solid foundation for low-jitter digital audio output.
With the TS-1, simply connect an USB CD drive and use the MA Remote App, you can convert CD albums into digital audio files and save them to the device's internal storage. This process creates a digital copy of your precious CDs, seamlessly combining the high-quality audio of CDs with the flexible management of streamers. Users can enjoy the unique ritual of CD playback while transcending the limitations of physical media, turning valuable music resources into digital formats for convenient playback. Let music become a constant, beautiful companion in your life. The bottom of the device features an NVMe SSD slot, allowing for the installation of an SSD to expand internal storage. A specially designed ultra-low-noise independent power supply ensures a quiet operating environment for the SSD, which surpasses what an ordinary computer can offer.
The TS-1’s Wi-Fi 6 connectivity offers a simple and convenient solution. To ensure optimal sound quality and stable performance during high resolution audio streaming, it is recommended to give priority to use a wired connection.
