    Matrix Audio Element Series Thread

    I'm surprised no one has made a thread for these yet. All three models are Roon Ready and support AirPlay, DLNA, and MQA audio. The Element X is their flagship model with the ESS9038PRO DAC chip: https://matrix-digi.com/en/products/321.html Element P has an integrated class D amp for...

    Combo Review: Euphony PTS - Matrix X-SPDIF 2 - Keces P8

    Here's something new to me - a cumulative review of several components together. I've done plenty of shootouts and comparisons, but never a collection of products from different brands all working as one. This stuff just pairs so well together that I figured it made sense to write it up the way...

    Powerful, underated amp: NJC Monitor II

    Has anyone heard this;   http://www.njc-audio.co.uk/html/monitor_ii.html   It looks a great product and probably deserves more exposure than it's gotten so far.   Look at the specs, 2.2W per channel into 50ohm!!   Not bad for a mid-priced solid state model, I wonder if this is a...

    DAC/amp to drive K701 suggestions

    Hey all, just joined today, been hearing great stuff about this forum for several months. I'm looking for suggestions for a DAC/amp combo to drive my AKG K701s. Currently they're only running off of an Auzentech Forte sound card (which DOES have an amp built in, but definitely doesn't do the...

    Earning up for my first system - DAC + Amp for Sennheiser HD650?

    I am currently making out plans for my first real set up (in which I will save up for a whole year), and I wanted to know what DAC / Amps are best for the HD650.     Here are my preferences:     1. Deeper, more controlled and faster bass     2. Slightly more forward mids, not too forward to...

    Need an Amp/DAC for AKG K701 - Yulong, Audio-gd, or Matrix?

    I know this subject has probably already been discussed to death, but I'm considering getting the AKG K701 and I want to find a suitable amp/dac combo first.  Fairly new here and I've been searching through the archives but I'm hoping someone can indulge me with some advice.     The...

    Â*2010 Matrix mini-i 24/192 Balanced DAC Headphone AMP - eBay (item 160425040678 end time May-18-10 08:32:35 PDT) Do you think it's powerful enough to drive the AKG K701s? I'm thinking about buying those once I get a little extra money.

    DHL import Duty to United States HELP!

    I ordered the Matrix M-stage amp off of coolfungadget who happens to be in Shanghai to the United States. He is using DHL to ship and says that I am responsible for paying duties.   Does anyone know where I would pay this duty?

    Matrix M-Stage Observations

    I decided to buy the M Stage in the hope it would adequately drive my k701, on the basis "if it doesn't work out, if havent spent much money." However I found the results to be quite interesting. I thought I would say what I found with my different phones, as it appears a partner for the M Stage...

    Beware!!! I purchased the Matrix-M Stage a month and a half ago, now the soundstage is gone

    I purchased it for my HD800s. The soundstage was great at first, but now it is very thin, only existing in the middle. The "left and right of the soundstage" is non-existent. It is all focused in the middle.   My set up is:   HD800 > Matrix M-Stage > RCA Cables > Nuforce uDAC > USB Slot...
