The digital-to-analog conversion is implemented here on the AK4493SEQ DAC chip from the Japanese company Asahi Kasei. Combined with Matrix Audio's proprietary FemtoSecond Clock system and proprietary jitter suppression algorithms, this lays the foundation for producing a high-quality, distortion-free analog signal.

    Matrix Audio MD-1P

    The MD-1P is the foundation for a high-quality yet minimalistic High-End system. Everything is thought out here: an HDMI eARC port, a USB audio input, XLR and RCA line inputs, a Phono input for an MM cartridge, HD Bluetooth, an NVMe SSD storage slot, a direct CD copy function using an optional USB optical drive, preamp outputs and an output for connecting an active subwoofer.
