Matrix Audio -TS-1 Music Streamer
Matrix Audio proudly presents the TS-1, 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.
Focused on Experience
Powered by the Hi-Fi streaming hardware platform from the Matrix Audio M Series, 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.
Subwoofer Output
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.
Headphone Tuning
Equipped with 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.
Fully Balanced DAC
Featuring 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.
Dual Femtosecond Clock
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.
Flexible Connection Options
If wired connection is inconvenient for you, 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.
Option For Linear Power
The TS-1 is specially designed with an DC power input to unlock its full performance potential with adding a linear power supply. When both external power and AC power are connected, the system prioritizes the external power supply and disconnects the AC power, retaining only the ground connection. Additionally, the product is equipped with a power filter and multiple low-noise LDOs to power each circuit unit independently, ensuring pure and stable power delivery in every aspect.
Enjoy Local & Cloud Music
Mount your NAS drive to the device, allowing you to create a music library directly from your NAS. If your music is stored in the cloud drive, such as Baidu Netdisk, it can also be mounted directly on the device. With MA Remote App, music files from NAS and cloud drive can be copied to internal storage of TS-1 conveniently.
Audio Center
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.
SSD Storage Fast And Quiet
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.
