Streamers — Matrix Audio NT-1

The NT-1 is a network transport from Matrix Audio, a Chinese manufacturer known for delivering accomplished digital source engineering at accessible prices, built with comprehensive high-resolution format support. The NT-1 brings Matrix Audio's considered engineering to network transport duties.

Key specs that matter

DSD compatibility reaches DSD512, with PCM support up to 32-bit/768kHz - comprehensive format support. At 330 x 267 x 97mm and 4.6kg, the NT-1 maintains a manageable footprint for a dedicated network transport.

Sound and use context

Given Matrix Audio's broader reputation for delivering accomplished digital source engineering at accessible prices, expect the NT-1 to deliver a clean, low-jitter digital output specifically engineered to hand off to an external DAC.

Pairing

Because the NT-1 functions as a transport, it requires pairing with a separate outboard DAC, and Matrix Audio's own element series DACs offer natural, brand-coherent pairings.

Alternatives

Matrix Audio's own TT-1 offers a more compact transport alternative within the same broader digital source catalogue.
