Embracing a philosophy of simplicity, it focuses entirely on the critical aspects of D\/A conversion. With sound quality as its foremost priority, the ND-1 combines a rigorously engineered circuit architecture with professional tuning to deliver a clean, transparent and low-distortion presentation. Its classic, warm tonal character faithfully reveals every detail and emotion of the music - crafted for audiophiles who seek the most authentic, delicate and lifelike reproduction of the original recording.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe ND-1 is equipped with a full range of digital inputs, including optical, coaxial, AES\/EBU, IIS-LVDS, and both USB Type B and Type C. Beyond compatibility with standard S\/PDIF digital signals, it also allows simultaneous connections to smartphones, tablets and PCs via different USB interfaces. All digital inputs feature electrical isolation design, effectively blocking common-mode interference and ground loop noise between the source device and the DAC circuitry, ensuring pure and stable transmission of audio data.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe ND-1 features AKM's flagship chipset combination: the premium delta-sigma modulator AK4191EQ paired with dual premium DAC AK4499EX. While the AK4191EQ handles high-precision digital processing and reclocking, the two AK4499EX chips adopt an independent channel architecture, dedicated to the digital-to-analog conversion of the left and right channels. This '1+2' array architecture effectively suppresses jitter, optimizes channel separation and phase consistency, and achieves an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe ND-1 features a custom-build ultra-low phase noise femtosecond clock, providing a high-precision reference signal for the D\/A conversion circuit. In addition, it incorporates a high-performance DPLL clock synthesis circuit derived from the brand’s flagship MS-1, supporting an external clock reference mode. When paired with the Matrix Audio SC-1 Audio Grade Reference Clock, the system’s full performance potential is fully realized—capturing the most delicate nuances and dynamic contrasts in music, and delivering a sound that is transparent, composed, richly layered, and vividly lifelike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matrix Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43184927932506,"sku":null,"price":3825.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/7061\/6666\/files\/MatrixAudioND-1frontLarge.jpg?v=1775484765","url":"https:\/\/madlyaudio.com\/products\/matrix-audio-nd-1","provider":"Madly Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
