Matrix Audio SS-1 Audio Grade Network Switch
Matrix Audio SS-1 Audio Grade Network Switch
Audio-grade network switch • Designed for high-performance streaming systems • Cleaner network foundation for streamers, servers, DACs, and digital source components
Meet the SS-1
The Matrix Audio SS-1 Audio Grade Network Switch is designed for high-performance streaming systems where the network path matters. Built as an audio-focused network switch, the SS-1 gives streamers, servers, and compatible digital audio components a more purpose-built connection point than a basic consumer network switch.
For listeners who rely on network audio playback, a dedicated audio-grade switch can help organize the digital source chain, reduce unwanted network-related noise concerns, and provide a cleaner foundation for music streaming.
System note: this is intended for audio systems that rely on wired network connections for streamers, servers, NAS libraries, and other digital playback components.
Highlights & Benefits
- Audio-focused network design — built for music systems that use streamers, servers, DACs, and network-connected source components.
- Cleaner system organization — creates a dedicated network connection point for the digital audio side of your system.
- Streaming system support — ideal for systems using network players, music servers, NAS libraries, and app-based playback.
- Reference system upgrade path — designed for listeners who want to optimize more than just the streamer or DAC.
- Purpose-built digital foundation — the Matrix Audio SS-1 Audio Grade Network Switch helps support a more refined network audio setup.
Technology & Design
Network audio systems depend on consistent communication between routers, switches, streamers, servers, and storage devices. While a basic switch can pass data, an audio-grade switch is designed specifically for systems where stability, noise management, and component matching are priorities.
The Matrix Audio SS-1 Audio Grade Network Switch is especially useful in dedicated hi-fi systems where a streamer, music server, or DAC is connected over Ethernet and the rest of the system is revealing enough to benefit from careful source-chain setup.
For customers building a digital-first audio system, the SS-1 can become part of a more intentional network foundation alongside quality Ethernet cabling, stable power, and carefully matched Matrix Audio source components.
Pair it with compatible Matrix Audio streamers, music servers, DACs, transports, and quality Ethernet cabling for best results.
FAQ — SS-1
What does an audio-grade network switch do?
An audio-grade network switch provides a dedicated wired network connection point for streamers, servers, and network audio components in a hi-fi system.
Is this a music streamer or DAC?
No. It is a network switch, not a streamer, DAC, amplifier, or preamplifier.
Who is this product best for?
It is best for listeners with network-based streaming systems who want a more purpose-built network foundation for digital audio playback.
Do I still need a router?
Yes. A network switch works as part of a broader home network and typically connects back to your router or main network infrastructure.
