This is cheap for the market, and the price lands comfortably below the 25th percentile of your recent comp set. Against a US$371 median and US$738 75th percentile, US$140 reads as a strong bargain rather than a merely fair ask.
What makes it interesting is the sheer utility: these Matrix Audio distribution pieces are built for serious multi-zone routing, so if you need clean signal management in a rack or custom install, the upside is real. The main buyer question is not value but functionality—“untested” and “as is” means you should be comfortable with possible faults, missing accessories, or repair work; if it powers up and passes audio, this looks like the sort of deal worth taking a shot on.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Matrix Audio traces its roots to Xi'an, China, where three high school classmates bonded over music and audio tinkering in the early 2000s. Their passion led to building homemade speakers during a 2001 summer holiday, evolving into formal collaboration after university in 2006 with the debut of the groundbreaking DAC DA-100Plus. The brand was officially registered in 2013 under Matrix Electronic Technology Co., LTD, embodying the founders' vision of balancing sonic precision and aesthetic harmony—reflected in the "matrix" name, drawn from mathematics, and their slogan "Into The Music."
The company specializes in high-performance digital audio source devices, starting with DACs and headphone amplifiers like the best-selling mini-i series. From 2016, they expanded into streaming solutions with companion apps, and by 2018 introduced integrated music streamers featuring power amplification, quad-core processors, and MA Player software. Today, their lineup emphasizes all-in-one Hi-Fi components that blend research, design, and manufacturing in-house, prioritizing seamless integration into modern homes.
Matrix Audio holds a strong position as a mid-to-high-end contender, prized for exceptional value, engineering excellence, and user-friendly execution that rivals legacy brands. Globally recognized for sound quality, build, and minimalist design, it appeals to discerning enthusiasts seeking complete digital ecosystems without complexity, earning acclaim from audiophiles worldwide.
