    Description

    The Matrix Audio Element X2 Pure is a premium all-in-one network streamer and DAC designed for modern high-fidelity systems. At its heart lies dual ES9039PRO DAC chips configured in a mono-channel per chip topology, delivering superior dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and pristine analog output. 

    It includes an advanced Crystek CCHD-950 femtosecond clock system to minimize jitter and ensure timing accuracy, yielding a soundstage with impressive depth, clarity and realism. 

    Connectivity is extensive: network streaming (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Wi-Fi plus Gigabit Ethernet), HDMI ARC input for TV or projector audio integration, multiple digital and analog inputs/outputs, and full support for Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, DLNA/UPnP, MQA, PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD 22.4MHz.

    Housing these features in a sleek chassis of just 58 mm height and compact footprint (340×259 mm) , the Element X2 Pure offers both form and function. Vibration-damping ceramic ball buffer feet (CBVB) further refine the sound quality.

    Ideal for audiophiles seeking a serious streaming and DAC solution without multiple boxes, this unit brings streaming, decoding and playback under one roof with top-tier precision and minimalistic elegance.

    • Dual D/A synergy

    • The dual D/A design makes the best use of the chips and reaches perfection. The element X2 Pure is equipped with 2 pieces of ES9039PRO which is the new flagship by ESS. Each chip works in mono mode, every 8 D/A conversion units from 1 chip work in parallel, which effectively improves the dynamic range and reduces audio distortion, while making the circuit of left and right channels completely separated. Every appropriate design ensures an accurate reproduction of the sound, bringing more powerful audio performance and excellent listening experience.

    • The beauty of symmetry, the art of balance

    • The golden rule of industrial aesthetics can be found all over the product. The analog circuits of left and right channels have the same layout and components. They are designed exactly symmetrical. The analog circuit is completely covered by the CNC aluminum shield, which effectively ensures the heat dissipation of the op-amps and isolates the interferences. No matter inside or outside, the element X2 Pure exudes a pleasing and meticulous design.

    • Electrical isolation, no fear of interference

    • The digital processing and D/A conversion circuit of element X2 Pure is electrically isolated, the ground wire of digital and analog parts are completely separated. The D/A and analog circuits are powered by ultra-low noise LDOs to obtain an extremely high SNR and dynamic range, leaving the background of music as silent as deep space.

    • Enter the world of streaming audio

    • element X2 Pure integrates various streaming services and local file playback functions, which can be used as an excellent audio source. Through coaxial, optical and USB connection, it can be an external DAC of CD players, digital audio players or computers, which improves the sound performance of your existing audio system.

    • Digital and Analog Sources All-in-One

      Digital and Analog Sources All-in-One

      element X2 Pure not only has multiple digital input ports, it also has added analog input ports. Vinyl turntables with line outputs, CD players or other devices with analog outputs can be connected to your modern digital audio system through element X2 Pure. There are high, medium and low input gain options available to adapt to the different output levels of front-end devices.

    • Early bird of TV Hi-Fi

      Early bird of TV Hi-Fi

      The element X2 Pure has an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) input. When connected to display devices such as TVs and projectors including HDMI ARC functionality, the digital audio from the HDMI signal can be transferred to element X2 Pure for higher quality playback. If the display device supports HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol, the playback on element X2 Pure can be controlled by this display device.

    <h2>Sweeter and louder</h2><p>element X2 Pure has built-in a superb pre-amplifier with +10dB analog gain. When the pre-amp is enabled, it can output high-quality audio signals up to 15.8VRMS, combined with Hyper-Control technology, let the entire output range keep ultra-low noise and distortion. When paring with the brand-new audio power amplifier element P2, there is no need to add a standalone pre-amp to the system. The matching design satisfies you with both visual and listening, providing abundant power to various speakers.</p>
