DESCRIPTION
ONE DEVICE, MANY SOLUTIONS
The Matrix Audio element P is one device that’s meant to fulfil all your audio needs. It can work as a source device, DAC as well as a speaker amplifier. It’s designed especially for passive speaker amplifiers. All you need to do is configure a NAS storage device or connect it to a USB drive to play music up to 768kHz PCM and 22.4MHz DSD.


ES9028PRO DAC TO STREAM MQA-QUALITY AUDIO
The XMOS XU216 USB Interface feeds the audio signal to the ESS ES9028PRO DAC and Crystek CCHD-950 ultra-low phase noise femtosecond clock for high-res jitter-free sound. To keep the audio quality from degrading, a MUSES72320 resistor for the analogue volume control is used. The element P supports MQA technology to decode Master Quality Authenticated files and playback the sound of the original master recording.



DLNA OR AIRPLAY, IT’S ALL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Stream audio wirelessly from any device including your smartphone with the element P. With the help of the MA player, enjoy music using DLNA or AirPlay. It’s also Roon ready. What’s more? You can control the music wherever you are with the MA Remote app (available for iPhone, iPad and Android phones). It is integrated with Tidal and Qobuz.


HIGH-END COMPONENTS FOR A POWERFUL AUDIO EXPERIENCE
The element P is the first Streamer from Matrix Audio that features a full-featured audio source. The Linux-based audio system uses a Freescale i.MX6 series dual-core ARM processor. The core power amplifier is the Danish ICEpower 250ASX2 class-D amplifier module that offers an output of 230 Watts per channel @ 4ฮฉ. To prevent the superimposed noise in the moduleโs power supply from entering the pre-amp section, a front-end linear power supply is used. This consists of a multi-channel linear LDO with Nichicon audio-grade capacitors and a customised Noratel toroidal transformer.



DESIGNED TO BE DURABLE & FUNCTIONAL
The element P features a double-shell structure. The outer shell is made of 4mm CNC anodized aluminium while the inner shell is fitted with stamp galvanized steel with multi-strip reinforcing ribs. Both metals are effective in removing the fixed resonant frequency of each shell. This reduces the negative impact that case resonance has on audio quality. It also ensures excellent durability. The simple visual lines on the case are meant to add to its sleek look.
