SInce it had powered on, I did not realize that the switch was in wrong setting. The unit still powers on that way but doesn't recognize the inputs. Toggling headphone gain for example required cycling through all the settings again.įinally, be sure to check the mains power switch under the unit.

One suggestion would be for it to remember the last place you were. Navigating the menus takes a bit of learning but since there is not a ton there, I got through it. Speaking of instructions, you get a bound, super high quality instruction manual which I appreciated as I went through the features of the unit.

As I am typing this, music is reliably streaming over Wifi from Roon player. Also, initiating the wizard is done by hitting the '+' button on top right of the MA app. Otherwise its wizard will sit there waiting for you to push that button. Note: make sure you let the Matrix Audio APP (MA) send you to wifi settings.

I suggest better instructions as a minimum on how to do this.ĮDIT: I was given a youtube video that shows the wifi configuration which got me going: I tried adding Ethernet to it at the same time but it didn't get me there. Instructions say to use the APP which doesn't make sense because the unit is not on the network yet to be configurable this way. It got its IP address alright but there was no way to enter my wifi password into it from the unit itself. I tried to use the Wifi but did not succeed. Manually pushing the power button got things going again. Alas, after upgrading it shut the unit down (or did it go to sleep?) and it did not power back up, leading to the app timing out with an error.

Importantly this is how you update the firmware and it indeed, it proceed to do so. Once there, I could control the unit as well as using the supplied remote/front panel. What does it need the location for? Anyway, after that it scanned all the nodes on my subnet and reliably found the unit. I was a bit dismayed that it asked permission for my location. I downloaded the Matrix Audio app for my Android phone. I connected the Ethernet cable and the unit ran flawlessly using that. We have our required XLR and RCA outs, dual coax and Toslink, IIS DAC input, USB, dual USB host ports and wired/wireless network.
