Matrix Audio ND-1

At its core is a dual-DAC architecture built around AKM’s flagship chipset, featuring the AK4191EQ together with dual AK4499EX converters. This advanced design provides outstanding processing precision, exceptional dynamic range, and excellent resistance to jitter. A comprehensive selection of galvanically isolated digital inputs—including USB, AES/EBU, SPDIF, and IIS-LVDS—allows multiple digital sources to be connected simultaneously without compromising signal purity.

A precision femtosecond clock, with support for an optional external reference clock, selectable transformer- or op-amp-based output stages, adjustable output levels, and an integrated 100-step analog volume control provide exceptional flexibility. Whether used with a dedicated preamplifier or connected directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers, the ND-1 adapts effortlessly to a wide range of high-end audio systems.

The Matrix Audio ND-1 is the ideal companion to the Matrix Audio NT-1, forming a reference-quality digital source for listeners with the highest sonic expectations. Paired with the Matrix Audio SC-1 master clock, both components reveal their full potential, delivering extraordinary precision, remarkable detail, and a deeply engaging musical performance. Together, they create a perfectly matched front end for uncompromising high-end systems.

Together, the NT-1, ND-1, and NA-1 form Matrix Audio’s N Series—a perfectly matched trio designed to deliver an exceptional listening experience. The NT-1 provides an uncompromising digital transport, the ND-1 transforms every nuance into breathtaking high-resolution analog sound, and the NA-1 completes the system with powerful headphone amplification and a refined preamplifier stage. The result is a seamless, harmonious system that reproduces music with remarkable clarity, depth, and emotional engagement—for musical experiences at the highest level.
