MD-1 and MD-1P Music Streamer Integrated Amplifier: Reinterpreting All-in-one

The MD-1 and MD-1P Music Streamer Integrated Amplifiers, meticulously crafted by Matrix Audio, redefine the all-in-one concept by seamlessly integrating a high-performance music streamer, power amplifier, and comprehensive streaming ecosystem. They bring the vision of "simplified setup, pure sound quality" to life.

Built on the same Hi-Fi streaming hardware as M-Series, the MD-1 and MD-1P features the same powerful core and large display. Running the continuously updated MA Player Hi-Fi Streaming OS and MA Remote App, it seamlessly integrates with both iOS and Android devices. Whether on a smartphone or tablet, you can enjoy a smooth and intuitive user experience. Access an extensive library of high-resolution music, including TIDAL, Qobuz, HIGHRESAUDIO and internet radio - all seamlessly integrated into the amplifier. 

1. Mastering-Grade DAC Chip: Studio-Quality Detail

The MD-1 and MD-1P feature the AK4493SEQ DAC chip built on AKM’s VELVETSOUND™ architecture, supporting PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD up to 24.58MHz. With a dynamic range of up to 120dB and ultra-low total harmonic distortion of just 0.0002%, they deliver both high-resolution clarity and analog warmth. From the subtle harmonics in classical music to the explosive dynamics of rock, every nuance is faithfully reproduced.

2. Dual Femtosecond Clocks: Purity and Depth

Clock precision is critical in digital audio processing. The MD-1 and MD-1P employ dual femtosecond clocks that provide reference signals for 44.1kHz, 48kHz and their multiples. Working with a high-speed FPGA running Matrix Audio’s proprietary jitter-reduction algorithms, phase jitter is minimized, making sound stage more airy and deep. This brings orchestral textures and vocal nuances to life with stunning three-dimensionality.

3. High-Efficiency Amplification: Power Meets Precision

The MD-1 delivers 150W per channel at 8 ohms, while the MD-1P offers a robust 300W per channel at 8 ohms—powerful enough to drive both bookshelf and floor-standing speakers effortlessly. Leveraging advanced digital amplification, they combine strong output with reduced power consumption and minimal heat. PWM signal processing further reduces audio distortion, ensuring pristine sound even during extended high-load playback.

4. Precision Volume Control: 0.5dB Steps to Perfection

Unlike traditional potentiometers that degrade over time, the MD-1 and MD-1P use a 256-step digitally controlled analog volume system. Volume can be finely adjusted from -80dB to +12dB in precise 0.5dB steps. Advanced algorithms maintain perfect phase synchronization between channels, preserving the integrity of the soundstage even at low volumes. A 12-step channel balance compensation function allows for fine-tuning to match speaker placement and room acoustics.

From the source of music to high-quality signal processing and then to efficient amplification, whether it is hardware or software, the MD-1 and MD-1P deliver full-chain, high-fidelity audio performance. Say goodbye to complex setups—experience studio-grade sound, simplified.

The MD-1 ($3,599 USD ) and MD-1P ($4,399 USD ) are set to launch in mid-June. We welcome everyone to purchase through official channels.
