FPGA &
Femtosecond
Clock

The digital audio processing section features a dual femtosecond clock architecture with two custom-designed femtosecond clocks by Matrix Audio, providing precise reference signals for 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and their multiples. Combined with a high-speed FPGA implementing Matrix Audio’s clock division and jitter reduction algorithms, it minimizes phase jitter and enhances audio data accuracy, resulting in an "airy" sound.

Precision Preamp
Volume Control

Featuring a 256-step high-precision digitally controlled analog preamp volume system, it eliminates the sound degradation caused by mechanical wear in traditional potentiometers. Supporting fine adjustments from -80dB to +12dB with 0.5dB steps, it optimizes the voltage output curve through advanced algorithms to ensure perfect phase synchronization between the left and right channels, preserving soundstage integrity even at low volumes. Additionally, a 12-step channel balance compensation allows for fine-tuning based on speaker placement and listening environment.

Preamp & Subwoofer Output

Equipped with preamp and subwoofer output ports featuring synchronized volume control, allowing seamless integration with external power amplifiers. The low-frequency output precisely delivers audio signals below 150Hz, making it easier to connect an active subwoofer and extend the ultra-low-frequencies. The MD-1P goes even further, with dual low-frequency outputs, ensuring perfect compatibility for larger listening spaces requiring dual subwoofers. Additionally, a trigger interface enables power synchronization with active subwoofers, eliminating the need for manual power switching and enhancing convenience.

Phono Input

We built a MM cartridge phono preamp with finely tuned low-noise RIAA curve. Simply connect your turntable’s phono output to the MD-1/MD-1P to effortlessly set up a complete vinyl playback system. Immerse yourself in the unique musical charm of vinyl records, making it incredibly convenient for those exploring the vinyl experience.

Line Input

Equipped with XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced line inputs, the MD-1/MD-1P compatible with nearly all audio devices featuring analog outputs. Whether it's professional studio gear or common home audio devices, integration is effortless. Additionally, the input can be set to Bypass Mode, allowing the unit to function as a pure power amplifier. This feature greatly enhances connectivity with AV multi-channel systems, making it ideal for both Hi-Fi music listening and home theater applications.
