{"product_id":"matric-md-1","title":"Matrix Audio MD-1 Music Streamer Integrated Amplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMatrix Audio MD-1 and MD-1P\u003c\/strong\u003e are all-in-one streaming integrated amplifiers from the flagship Reference M Series, combining an audiophile digital music streamer, an AKM VelvetSound DAC stage, and ultra-low-distortion Class-D power amplification in a single chassis. Delivering 2x 150W RMS @ 8 Ω (MD-1) or 2x 300W RMS @ 8 Ω (MD-1P), both models drive demanding loudspeaker loads with ease. The higher-tier MD-1P expands connectivity further with two pairs of gold-plated pure copper speaker terminals (enabling A\/B remote switching) and dual subwoofer pre-outputs for larger listening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowered by an AK4499EX\/AK4191EQ VelvetSound D\/A chip, dual custom femtosecond clocks, and an FPGA jitter-reduction pipeline, the MD-1 series offers comprehensive digital and analog connectivity—including HDMI eARC, USB, optical, coaxial, XLR balanced line-in (with Home Theater Bypass mode), and a built-in MM phono stage. On-board network capabilities include Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, and TIDAL Connect. Additionally, an internal NVMe SSD slot with an isolated low-noise power supply allows the unit to double as a network-attached storage (NAS) music server or rip CDs directly when connected to an external USB optical drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp;
