Matrix Audio TT-1

Pure Transport

The TT-1 is not designed as a classic full amplifier or all-in-one device, but as a digital source for an external DAC. This is the core classification of the device, and the most important difference from many streamers with analog outputs. Anyone who already owns a high-quality converter gets a specialized hub here for clean digital playback input. That’s exactly what the product concept is designed for.

Wide Range of Digital Connections

With coaxial, optical, AES/EBU, IIS-LVDS, and USB-DAC outputs, the TT-1 is very well-equipped. This gives you very flexible connection options depending on your DAC or system. IIS-LVDS and USB-DAC are particularly interesting for the highest resolutions. As a result, the device can also be used effectively in demanding setups.

Network and Storage

Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet ensure stable streaming connections. Additionally, an NVMe SSD can be installed, so the TT-1 can also manage locally stored music. Two USB 3.0 ports expand usage with external drives. This makes the device not just a transport, but also a flexible music hub.

Who It's For

The TT-1 is ideal for listeners who already own a good DAC or a DAC/preamplifier and want to specifically optimize the digital part. In this role, it can be very useful because it removes complexity from the analog signal path. Conversely, anyone looking for a complete playback solution will also need a D/A converter, and usually an amplifier too. This distinction is important to clearly communicate in a product description.
