Nope, It only does Roon and AirPlay2. According to this thread (https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...info-on-new-matrix-audio-mini-i.15095/page-13) no plans from Matrix to add Spotify Connect or Tidal Connect.

I thought to poke my head in to say I just listened to the Matrix pro in my system over the weekend , I just wanted to say I’m impressed , very impressed.
A friend invited himself over bringing along his Matrix pro and we sat there for the better part of an afternoon enjoying some music .

Anyway I think for at the asking price the Matrix pro is an absurd bang for the buck dac and should be taken seriously proving once again high retail prices generally on components have no bearing on performance,...

Yes, the Dac implementation on the Pro Mini 3 is exceptional not to mention, Roon streaming and all the other features packed in this small enclosure.

Matrix just updated the firmware on my device to firmware version C713B8.
These is no information yet on Matrix Audio website so, I do not have firmware change log information yet to share.
I hope to see some improvements especially in the case of better remote usage such as volume ramping etc.

No, the issue is still present. I have that updating. The issue isn't via usb, but via Roon Streaming either wifi or ethernet

Got you, i have email3d Matrix several time with quick responses. Just note they are on a different time zone. But I found them to respond quickly with any question. Did you emaile them about your specific issue? Tonigh when I get back, I’ll play some DSD files and see if I can recreate the intermittent issue your having and reply back to the thread.

Yes sure! Very quick response. I sent them the Roon log file. They are investigating the problem

 

[Dionysus]

Excellent good to know, hope you get your issue resolved, and again I’ll try some dsd files and see what I uncover and report back.

Have people tried this dac/amp with a Focal clear? I am worried about the output resistance (Focal clear only has 55). Been reading great things about this one and would love something with such a pretty and small form factor for my desk

I’m using this paired with a Violectric V280 via XLR and it’s been great. Also used the RCA out to a Liquid Platinum, and that was fine. Even using the balanced 4.4mm headphone out I haven’t experienced a noticeably inferior sound or distortion. My headphones are HIFIMAN Arya, He6seV2, Focal Clear, and HD600. I have another amp on the way (Singxer SA-1) so perhaps my opinion can still change, but so far it’s been great with what I have. I don’t have any low impedance dynamics other than the Clear to try though.

What was your experience with the Focal clear comparing the Matrix audio with the Singxer? These are 2 devices I am planning to listen to in the near future
