It can be likened to a series of high-speed switches that must operate with extreme precision. Inside the SS-1 Pro, this system consists of a femtosecond clock and a high-precision ultralow phase noise RF synthesizer. The SS-1 Pro supports two clock modes: In internal clock mode, the internal femtosecond clock serves as a reference for the RF synthesizer, which then generates a highly stable, low-phase-noise clock signal for the main controller. In external clock mode, the 10MHz clock signal from an external clock acts as the reference for the RF synthesizer. The DPLL then outputs a synchronized, highly stable, low-phase-noise clock signal to the main controller. Even though the SS-1 has a simplified clock system design and does not have a RF synthesizer, it still features an ultra-low phase noise femtosecond clock as the reference for the main controller, ensuring exceptional performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA custom o-core toroidal transformer combined with high-speed Schottky diodes and nearly 10,000 uF audio-grade filtering capacitors forms the first-stage power supply of SS-1 Pro.

SI‑1 is an audio‑grade network isolator designed to sit quietly in your chain and clean up what your streamer or network DAC actually sees from the rest of your home network. It converts the electrical Ethernet link into an optically isolated path, breaking the direct electrical connection between router and audio system so network‑borne noise and ground loops are far less able to reach your playback gear.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.matrix-digi.com\/news\/980\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eInside, the SI‑1 uses active optical‑electrical isolation: incoming Ethernet is converted to optical, passed through dual, fully independent send\/receive channels and then converted back again. This design blocks electromagnetic interference from routers and switches, cuts ground‑loop‑related current noise, and works with a pair of femtosecond clocks and a linear power supply to keep timing jitter and power‑supply noise extremely low. The aim is not to change the character of your system, but to give streamers and network‑enabled DACs a cleaner, more stable data environment to work from.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.matrix-digi.com\/product\/125\/SI-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe SI‑1 is straightforward to deploy. Around the back are two 1 Gbps RJ45 ports — one input and one isolated output — in a physically separated layout that reinforces signal integrity while cutting the electrical link between the two sides. You simply insert it in line between your router and a streamer, network DAC or audio‑dedicated switch, and it acts as a high‑quality isolation node for the entire audio branch of the network. Front‑panel and rear‑panel LEDs provide clear status at a glance, with the option on some units to disable link lights to keep a dark listening room free of distractions.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/matrix-digi.ru\/product\/si-1\/\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eA linear power supply with an epoxy‑potted toroidal transformer, multiple low‑noise regulators and carefully managed grounding underpins the design, helping the SI‑1 behave like an audio component rather than a generic IT accessory.
