Matrix Audio TT-1 Digital Audio Transport

Matrix Audio TT-1 Digital Audio Transport

The Matrix Audio TT-1 is designed as an all-round digital source for listeners who want flexibility without compromising sound quality. Sitting between entry and reference-level transports, it brings core Matrix Audio technologies into a compact platform that suits everything from dedicated hi-fi racks to mixed-use living room systems. With the same streaming hardware foundation as the M Series, a responsive interface, and a clear, high-resolution display, everyday browsing and playback feel smooth and intuitive.

At the heart of the TT-1 is a dual femtosecond clock architecture, with separate ultra-low phase noise clocks dedicated to the 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling families. This approach reduces jitter at the source and supports accurate digital output across a wide range of formats. Digital connectivity includes optical, coaxial, AES/EBU, IIS-LVDS, and a dedicated USB DAC output, making it easy to match the TT-1 with a broad selection of DACs or active speakers while maintaining signal integrity.

Beyond streaming, the TT-1 works as a genuine audio hub. HDMI ARC, USB Audio, and analogue inputs allow TVs, computers, and traditional sources to feed into one central device, while internal NVMe SSD support, USB storage, and NAS integration handle local music libraries with ease. Power can be further improved via the dedicated DC input for use with an external linear supply, giving owners a clear upgrade path as systems evolve. For anyone looking for a capable, future-ready digital transport that adapts to many listening scenarios, the TT-1 is a strong and flexible choice. 

Here is what Matrix Audio say about the TT-1

TT-1 is a mid-range digital audio transport from Matrix Audio. Inheriting the essence of Matrix Audio's core technologies, it also leaves room for future upgrades. Whether you are an audiophile seeking enhanced sound quality or an advanced audio enthusiast looking to elevate your digital source, the TT-1 is an excellent digital source for your audio system.

Matrix Audio introduces a new family design language, equipped with the same Hi-Fi streaming hardware as the M Series. With a powerful core upgrade and a next-level display enhancement, it delivers a brand-new experience that captivates both your ears and eyes.

The ever-evolving MA Player Hi-Fi Streamer OS and MA Remote App seamlessly adapt to both iOS and Android devices. Whether on a smartphone or a tablet, enjoy a smooth and intuitive interactive experience.

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, such as Baidu Netdisk, it can also be mounted directly on the device.

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.

Dual USB 3.0

Two USB 3.0 Type A ports allow you to connect external storage or CD drives to the TT-1 for copying, ripping and playback.

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..

Shareable Internal Storage

With the SMB protocol, computers on the same network can easily access the device's storage, making it simple to manage your music library. Additionally, the device can function as a NAS, enabling other streamers on the same network to seamlessly play the stored music.

Smart Wake Up & Trigger Control

Whether playing local music or online streaming audio, the device can be automatically woken up. And the back-end DAC or amplifier can be started through the trigger connection, which is automatic and convenient without any manual operation.

Dual Femtosecond Clock

Equipped with two 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.

Multiple Interfaces

Optical, coaxial, AES/EBU and IIS-LVDS output ports are available, which can easily connect to various digital audio devices such as DACs and amplifiers to meet your diverse audio connection needs. If you connect it to an active speaker with digital input, you can also enable the digital volume function, no need to add an additional speaker controller, and the volume can be adjusted easily.

Dedicated Interface for Lossless Audio

The TT-1 features an audio-specific USB DAC interface, meticulously optimized to reduce transmission noise. With precisely calibrated transmission impedance, it ensures audio signals are transmitted without any loss at the physical transmission layer, delivering every detail of sound with exceptional fidelity.

Flexible Connection Options

If wired connection is inconvenient for you, the TT-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 TT-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.
