Matrix Audio MS-1PRE Network Streamer with Analog Preamp

🧾 Overview

The Matrix Audio MS-1P (MS-1 PRE version) is the same flagship streaming platform, aimed at listeners who want the MS-1 as the core analog control unit of the system. The focus here is preamp functionality: variable outputs, fine volume control, and transparent gain structure—built to drive power amps directly while keeping the “streamer UI experience” first-class.

✅ Key Features

• ✅ MS-1 flagship streaming platform tuned for “direct to power amp” use

• ✅ Full modern streaming stack (Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, TIDAL/Qobuz/Spotify Connect)
• ✅ USB + internal SSD expansion for local libraries
• ✅ Trigger in/out and 10 MHz clock input for high-end rack integration
