Review: Bought the DAX to replace a Russound system that had finally given up on me. Ordered the system through an desertcart Vendor, Ayreborn Audio. Unit arrived well packaged with all parts as advertised. The system was easy to wire up and once hard wired to my network connected to the control App almost instantly. Setting up zone and source names was also straight forward. The system is plenty loud and drives my wall and ceiling speakers nicely. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to replace an existing wired system. For full disclosure the first unit that arrived had a small problem with one of the zone outputs. Ayreborn got back to my emailed inquiry within a day and paid for return shipping. They tested the unit, confirmed it had an issue and sent out a new one which is running perfectly. Appreciated the great post sale service. Would happily buy from them again.
Review: I looked at several options for home audio and for the amount of Zones I have at my house. This DAX88 met all of my needs. I think the mobile app has changed over the years, but the current version as of this writing is an app called Matrio Control, and I dont really have any major complaints. Its very easy to control the device with multiple phones, rename zones, set individual volumes/balance/bass/treble. Sound quality is good/great, it powers all zones with a ton of power. A few improvements that could be made: - additional wifi inputs - ability to turn off LEDs on the front of the device - bluetooth receiver built-in - official support for automation via home assistant or other home automation platforms - sometimes I with it had a physical remote Regarding the last point, the device is controllable over serial connection, but I wanted to be able to control over ethernet/wifi to avoid a separate serial device nearby. I wrote a home assistant integration called ha-matriocontrol which accomplishes this (available in HACS). Ive been very happy with the device and would buy again.
