Matrix Audio MS-1PRE Network Streamer with Analog Preamp

Go for the MS-1 Pre version instead.” — Hi-Fi News “Delicate and gentle… sweet, appealing timbre.” — HiFi Report “Very low distortion with excellent channel coherence… even at low volume.” — Magna Hifi (product commentary) ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Warning: Using the MS-1P may trigger spontaneous “I don’t need a preamp anymore” decisions, followed by a suspiciously clean rack and a dangerously happy wallet.
