Meet the TT-1

The Matrix Audio TT-1 Digital Audio Transport is designed for listeners who want a dedicated digital source for streaming-based hi-fi playback. Built to pair with an external DAC, it focuses on delivering clean digital audio from network music services, local libraries, and modern digital playback systems.

Instead of replacing your DAC, the TT-1 gives your system a focused transport component that handles the streaming and digital-output side of the signal chain. It is a smart upgrade for compact two-channel systems, headphone setups, and digital-first hi-fi systems where source quality matters.

System note: this is a strong choice for customers who already own a DAC and want a clean, purpose-built way to add modern streaming capability.

Highlights & Benefits

• Dedicated transport design — built to serve as a digital source for systems using an external DAC.
• Compact hi-fi footprint — easy to place in desktop, rack, or two-channel listening systems.
• Modern streaming integration — gives digital audio systems a cleaner way to access network-based music playback.
• External DAC flexibility — keep the DAC you already love while upgrading the transport side of the system.
• Focused digital source upgrade — the Matrix Audio TT-1 Digital Audio Transport helps refine a streaming system without unnecessary extra features.

Technology & Design

A dedicated digital transport is different from an all-in-one streamer with built-in analog outputs. Its job is to manage the digital playback path and send audio to an external DAC for conversion. This separation can be valuable for customers who have already invested in a DAC and want a more specialized source component.

The Matrix Audio TT-1 Digital Audio Transport is well suited for systems where simplicity, clean signal routing, and digital playback reliability are important. It can serve as the core streaming source in a compact hi-fi setup, headphone system, or digital audio rack.

For listeners building a modern streaming system around a preferred DAC, the TT-1 offers a focused path forward without requiring a full source-component replacement.

Pair it with a high-performance DAC, quality digital cabling, and a revealing amplifier or headphone system for best results.
