The first sun Yang Matrix Mini i pro decoding amp pre-one machine

Yang Jing's things, especially the Mini i Pro, are rarely seen in the green sandalwood rosewood, but the fever fever forum is very good. Many friends use it to push the active box. Before posting a lot of people also asked me about this machine, but I did not directly use it and mojo pk, mainly referring to the other two friends' sense of hearing to recommend, just recently a friend out, wanted to borrow to play , but he rushed out, I just got a direct set, just to compare with mojo.


One. Unpacking

The box is clean and small, with no frills. At the top is Yang Jing's trademark: Matrix Audio.

The inside is also very simple, a host, a remote control, a USB, a power cord, a warranty card, a drive disk is all. The volume of the host is very small, and it can be intuitively compared with a 5-inch mobile phone.

The mainframe is black, and the appearance is squarely correct. There is nothing special about it. The corners of the machine are either round or chamfered. There are no cuts and the details are in place. It is commendable.

The front of the host is doing well. An acrylic plate covers a large part. The left side is the headphone hole and the right is the volume knob. After booting, there is a screen in the middle, which will display various information such as code rate, volume, and input source.

This machine also has three operating modes, namely decoding amp mode, decoding preamplifier mode and pure DAC mode. After turning off the power button, press and hold the volume knob to turn it on. The pure dac mode can only be line out and cannot adjust the volume. The decoded amp mode line out is shielded and can only be output from the front headphone jack. Decode the amp preamp mode, the front headphone jack and the back of the analog output have signal output, the volume knob can simultaneously control all the output volume.

Do not look at this machine is very small, but the interface is very complete. The leftmost part is the analog output area, with a set of XLR outputs and a set of RCA outputs. In this volume of machines, there are not too many XLRs. Then there is a digital input area in the middle. There are AES, RCA coaxial, optical fiber, and USB inputs. The far right is the switch and power jack. It is worth mentioning that although this machine is on the back, but it can sleep, it is still more humane.

The interface of this machine uses xmos and is decent. For such a price machine, no external interface is needed. Built-in power supply is also more peace of mind, eliminating the cost and trouble of purchasing power line, basically this machine interface and function is very rich, it is also very easy to use, a usb, plus a power cord on the ok .

There is also a voltage switch on the side of the machine, which can be adjusted directly without opening the shell to support 110v or 220v.

Random also comes with a remote control, is all-metal, feel good. The button is also metal. Press it to confirm it. It is a hard point. There is also a point where shaking the button will buzz, weigh too much, make it more compact, or use the rubber button may be able to solve.


Listening evaluation

Finally, talk about hearing. Let’s talk about the audition system first. As the Mini i pro is too mouthful, it is collectively referred to as Yang Jing.

Tested using Jinbo's Pearl 2 digital interface, A15 as a signal source, dock output USB signal to Pearl 2.

Pearl 2 outputs two digital signals at the same time, one way cheap BNC to RCA coaxial output to mojo, the other uses the Fan Dengmei AES data line transmission to Yang Jing. Mojo uses a red-and-white line of 3.5 to RCA to connect to Longquan. Yang Jing uses a pair of QED reference2 RCA signal cables to connect Longquan. Basically, Yang Jing is still a little cheaper on the wire.

Many people will feel very disdain. Why should you find a player to compare? Taiwan’s victory over Taiwan’s victory over the Taiwanese plane’s loss can only indicate that the Taiwan’s machine is too weak. However, it is not. With the addition of the interface and the addition of amps, the mojo's strength will be fully utilized when it is used as a pure decoding. In addition to the sound field being slightly smaller (the chord family is the virtue of this family), other aspects are performing very well. At present, even if the price is placed on the new 3k or so, about 2k of used products, all the products I've heard haven't been able to beat mojo's existence. The quality of the mojo can lead a few, and the quality is high and the sound is dry. It's not nice. Mojo is actually at the 2-3k price dac, the sound is still very good, be a very good reference.

This time still so Yang Jing as a machine in the second-hand 2k price is very high cost, but also failed to fully down the mojo. Although I hadn't heard of this machine before, there were a few friends who had played and some had mojo. After talking to them, they still grasped the quality and the sense of hearing of this machine. This time I basically listened. My expectations.

The audition first compared two machines as pure DACs and used Longquan to drive KK. After listening to it, Yang Jing was a relatively stable voice. The three articles were relatively balanced and the sounds were relatively positive, but they had no characteristics. They were not fluent but not dry. There was nothing too obvious about the digital taste. Overall, they were not lost.

On the sound field, the width of the mojo is a little worse, the depth and height are better, and the width of Yang Jing is better, but the height and depth are almost equal to one scale level. Mojo belongs to the sound field is relatively small, Yang Jing sound field and mojo scale, It's too small. Before listening to HPA3B is also a small sound field, it is estimated that the same as chords are family traditions. On the tri-band distribution, mojo is a little bit on the side, low-frequency is not solid enough, Yang Jing's low-frequency solid, but high-frequency mojo advantage is greater, overtones and extensions are better, mid-frequency mojo more prominent. In terms of density, mojo is slightly better. On the other hand, the gap between the tunings was relatively large, and the mojo was relatively smooth and music was good. On the other hand, Yang Jing's musical sensation was relatively flat.

Basically pure as dac, Yang Jing did not discuss what is cheap, basically tuning some losses.

And when decoding amps. . . In comparison to the three views, mojo's ear was slightly better. . . The control power is better than Yang Jing. Yang Jing's ear is basically sent.

At the current level, Yang Jing’s advantage is reflected. I adjusted the volume of Langquan to near maximum, using mojo and Yang Jing to control the volume. When the volume is relatively small, mojo's dynamic and low-frequency compression is much more powerful than Yang Jing. Yang Jing's pre-class loss is relatively small, and the availability is still quite high. In addition, Yang Jing also has a pair of XLR outputs, which can be used to connect the active speakers. If you are playing an active small box, Yang Jing is still very reliable. In the same price range, it has the decoding of the predecessor. Can be described as rare, as far as I know the current similar price in addition to its upgraded version mini2pro just out of it and no other pre-flight competitors.

Three. Summary

Yang Jing's Mini i pro is generally a pretty good machine. It has a simple and elegant appearance, solid workmanship, and rich input and output. The pre-level functions are very practical. Although the quality and tuning are not outstanding, the sound is not so obvious. It is a little white, but not dry. It is very suitable for entry. Although the mojo is cheap and not bad, but when the Taiwanese machine is still more troublesome to use, unlike Yang Jing so worry-free.

With the introduction of the speakers, such as the sound of the q5, PreSonus E5, the effect will be good, wall crack suggested try it.

The end of this single drying, thanks for watching.
