Audiophiles Can't Ignore This Streamer

In this episode, Lenny Florentine is joined by Eric Smith from Fidelity Imports to explore one of the most exciting new names in streaming: Matrix Audio. Born from three high school audiophiles with a passion for great sound and great design, Matrix has grown into one of the most complete digital audio manufacturers in the world. They design everything in-house—from the hardware and software to the app and operating system—making their products stand apart from the crowd. We dive deep into the new TS1, a $2,500 all-in-one streamer/DAC/preamp/headphone amp that's turning heads with its build quality, intuitive UX, and AKM-based design. You'll also hear about Matrix's full range of products, from dedicated streaming transports and DACs to their reference separates, and how features like internal SSD storage, CD ripping, ARC support, and even external clock integration make them serious contenders in the audiophile streaming space. If you've been thinking about upgrading your streamer or exploring Matrix Audio for your hi-fi system, this episode is a must-listen.
