Matrix Audio NT-1 Reference Digital Audio Transport

Matrix NT-1 Audio Transport

I am connecting this with an AVM 90 processor via coax cable. Initial impressions have been positive thus far, noticed improved sound quality compared to WIFI streaming through Chromecast. You can only use certain APPS however with this unit, had to reconnect with Qobuz. It may take a while as well to get familiar with their APP (MA Remote). Always a pleasure to work with Mike. Thank you.

Another Step Up

I didn't know what to expect with the addition of the NT-1 to my system. In fact, I wasn't sure if it would make a difference at all. What I got was an increase in refinement of the sound, a smoothness that really enhanced the quality of the stream. And perhaps best of all, there was a marked improvement in the timbre--sax sounded more like a sax, violin was more "woody", etc. BRAVO for Matrix!!

I like it (a lot)

I came from a Hifi Rose RS130 which constantly had software issues after each upgrade. While it had more bling, larger chassis, video output, wifi, remote control, etc., I like the simplicity of the NT-1 with a pure focus on sound quality. Snappy interface, no bugs, and works great with Roon and my Lampizator DAC. Oh, and sounds at least as good as $6k Rose.
