Matrix Audio I-4 Music Streamer: thoughts and opinions

[@Martin-wu9hw]

Very good review as an streamer, but you didn't mention that: "mini-i 4 has added an HDMI ARC input port, which allows the audio signal from the TV or projector to be transmitted to mini-i 4. You can enjoy clearer and more realistic audio while watching videos or movies. Personally I don't like soundbars to listen to music, I think stereo sound is a good option for its versatility ( movies and music). The sampling rates are supported up to PCM 24 bit/192kHz. The power on/off, volume and playback linkage between mini-i 4 and the display device can be controlled through CEC, which brings a new TV Hi-Fi experience to you". It is very difficult to find a device with an HDMI ARC input port with XLR outputs at this price. Only much more expensive processors have xlr outputs. I have a couple of auto amplified speakers that fit perfect.

Slick looking device. Would be good for the doomsday bunker rig.
