Streaming Systems - Matrix Audio
Streaming systems are ideal If you're building a set up from scratch because they contain an amplifier and streaming functionality in a single box. Stream audio from PC, NAS drive, smart device or online services like Spotify and Tidal. Just add bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. We also sell hi-fi streamers which don't incorporate amplification and can be plugged into your hi-fi amplifier. Alternatively, for streaming system with multi room capabilities, see multi room systems.
Matrix Audio is a hi-fi digital audio company founded in 2009 in the ancient city of Xi'an, China. Their DAC's, amplifiers, digital streamers and other products focus on providing high performance, and great usability and quality
For 10 years now, Matrix Audio have been developing an excellent reputation among the hi-fi industry in China and around the world, establishing a great brand image among audiophiles. The company employs vigorous professional testing, extensive research and audio analysis to ensure their products are of the highest quality.
The concept of Matrix is derived from the mathematical term which emphasises balance between two dimensions. Incorporated in to every product's design is the elements of looking and seeing, their mission being that their digital audio products should have both exceptional sound performance and appealing designs that will be in harmony with any living environment.
The company began in 2006 with the DA-100, and have progressed to today where we see the evolution of the Element series which was developed in 2018. Their aim is to keep up with technological advances and put copious amount of research in to their products.

Music streaming has the final word in convenience, it grants listeners access to thousands of global radio stations along with music stored on your computer, network attached storage or from internet radio channels. While top-in-class sound arguably comes from a hi-fi streamer paired with a hi-fi amplifier, however these all-in-one solutions come relatively close at a lower cost.
If the model does not feature CD replay, you can still enjoy your CD collection by adding a separate CD player and your vinyl library by integrating a turntable with a matching phono stage. Many of these streaming systems also include the ability to stream music from a Bluetooth enabled source. If it doesn't, you can add a separate wireless streamer.
