Is this the kind of deal you grab first and ask questions later? At US$35, it is a strong bargain against a typical used market centered at US$340, with the 25th percentile at US$150 and the 75th at US$725; this is well below the low end of normal asking prices.
The upside here is straightforward: a small multi-channel distribution amp can cleanly split and buffer line-level signals without turning your rack into a science project, and Matrix Audio gear tends to appeal to people who want tidy, practical kit with a serious build. At this price, the key check is simply that all channels work quietly and the RCA jacks and power supply are intact; if it passes that, it looks like an easy yes.
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.
