The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download.

ESS Sabre
element M is positioned as the mid-range of the entire series and is also the most cost-effective product. Matrix Audio uses ES9028PRO advanced D/A solution and SiTime low phase noise clock, combined with their development experience with ESS chips, to maximize its potential performance.

High-Quality Headphone AMP
Matrix Audio developed a new low-impedance headphone amplifier consisting of discrete components for element M. This headphone amp has a bipolar input stage that effectively rejects common-mode distortion. The output stage is set in a high quiescent current state, giving you an intriguing mellow sound performance.

Multiple Control Methods
The RM3 infrared remote control is standard for element series products, we provide 5 different kinds of address code to avoid interference with other audio devices. On the other hand, MA Remote has a ‘Virtual Remote Control’ feature, you can proceed with all the setting operations of the unit through the app.

Double-shell Structure
Different materials have their own resonant frequency. The element X is designed as a double-shell structure. The inner shell uses stamp galvanized steel with multi-strip reinforcing ribs to ensure excellent strength and the external shell is made of 4mm aluminum. The combination of the two metals eliminates the fixed resonant frequency of each material and greatly reduces the negative impact that case resonance can have on the sound quality.
