Technology & Design
A flagship streamer can become the foundation of a modern high-performance music system. The MS-1 platform is designed for customers who want a dedicated, purpose-built digital source instead of relying on a general computer, basic network adapter, or entry-level streaming solution.
The Matrix Audio MS-1 Flagship Music Streamer is especially well suited for systems where digital playback is the primary source and the rest of the system is revealing enough to benefit from a higher-quality streaming component.
For systems that already have a preferred preamp or integrated amplifier, the MS-1 keeps the streamer role focused. For systems that need preamplifier control, the MS-1P adds that functionality while preserving the same flagship streaming concept.
Pair it with a high-performance DAC, preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or power amplifier depending on whether the MS-1 or MS-1P is the better fit for your system.
