The Matrix Element I2 is part of the brand’s line of network players, functioning as a complete standalone source device for your audio system and bringing your traditional HiFi system into the world of high-resolution streaming.
With the Element I2, you can enjoy your music in many ways. Whether your files are stored on a device on your local network (computer, NAS…), on a USB storage device or on your smartphone, they are accessible from the Element I2. The streamer also supports DLNA and AirPlay2 streaming protocols as well as Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect, allowing you to send your music to the I2 directly from a smartphone, for example.
Many music streaming services are also accessible from the network player, such as Spotify, TIDAL or Qobuz, but also to a wide range of web radios thanks to vTuner.
With the free MA Remote mobile app you can browse your local music files, access your favorite streaming services and web radios, and control playback remotely, right from your smartphone. Firmware updates for the Element I2 can also be managed through the app.
The I2 can also be connected in WiFi thanks to the integration of a dual-band antenna 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
