The Matrix Audio SS-1 PRO is not just a network switch; it is an audio-grade foundation engineered to deliver high-definition streaming data with absolute bit-perfect accuracy. Designed for the most demanding Hi-Fi systems, the SS-1 PRO isolates, cleans, and stabilizes the network signal, eliminating the electrical noise and data jitter that can compromise the performance of your streamer and DAC. By creating a pristine, low-noise network environment, the SS-1 PRO allows your components to perform at their peak, revealing a new level of clarity, detail, and musicality in your favorite recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is part of the wider Matrix N-Series system.

The SS-1 PRO achieves this through its dual 10Gbps SFP+ ports. By using fiber optic modules, you can create a galvanic break from your main network router, completely severing the path for noise and interference to travel into your sensitive audio system. This ensures that the data arriving at your streamer is free from the electronic pollution generated by other devices in your home, resulting in a significantly lower noise floor and a more transparent, detailed sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA Clock System Built for Precision\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eData timing is critical for digital audio. The SS-1 PRO incorporates a sophisticated clock system built around a femtosecond crystal oscillator and a high-precision RF synthesizer. This system reconstructs the clock for the main control chip, dramatically reducing timing errors (jitter) within the switch itself. For the ultimate in precision, an external 10MHz clock input allows you to bypass the internal clock and sync the SS-1 PRO with a high-end master clock, achieving a level of timing accuracy that allows your DAC to render music with unparalleled stability and focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDedicated Ports for Audio Purity\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all network traffic is created equal. The SS-1 PRO features two specially designated 100Mbps Ethernet ports, which are ideal for audio streamers that do not require high bandwidth. By using these lower-speed ports, the bit error rate during data transmission is reduced, ensuring a more stable and accurate data stream. Furthermore, every port on the SS-1 PRO is equipped with its own independent, shielded Ethernet transformer and widely spaced to accommodate high-end audio-grade network cables without physical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSilent, Stable, and Clean Power\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foundation of any high-performance audio component is its power supply. The SS-1 PRO is built around a robust linear power supply, featuring a custom o-core toroidal transformer, high-speed Schottky diodes, and nearly 10,000μF of audio-grade filtering capacitors. This raw power is then meticulously regulated by a network of six ultra-low-noise LDO linear power supplies, providing dedicated, clean power to the clock unit, SFP optical modules, and the main control chip. This fanless, passively cooled design ensures silent operation and a constant supply of pure power for flawless performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSS-1 vs. SS-1 PRO: Which Is Right for Your System?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth switches share the same core architecture: femtosecond clocking, dual 10Gbps SFP+ optical isolation, and dedicated audio-grade 100Mbps ports.
