Ratings and reviews

This app works perfectly. I've been using for a few months now and have been very pleased with the entire experience. Controls are easy to use. Immediate response, no delays or lag when adjusting any controls. They fixed all of my minor concerns and more during my experience. They have beg very responsive to my concerns. I love the application and highly recommend buying the DAX88 with it. Great work Dayton Audio and Parts Express.

Matrio usually doesn't connect to the device. The problem is prevalent when also opening streamer app (using Wiim pro streamer app). Dayton streamer in Matrix88 does not work with Google cast and requires a premium subscription to Spotify (which I have no plans of purchasing). My Wiim streamer works with both Google cast and Spotify free version. Matrix88 is a good concept but lacking refinement. There is no way to update firmware and device is not configurable via network.

Not compatible with smart home app. I have a new house and I'm making it a smart home. I installed 8 sound zones and my Dayton Audio DAX88 8-Source 8-Zone Multi-Room Distributed Audio Matrix Amplifier works great, and I love my system, and the Matrio app is functional. However, in 2023 it should be compatible with smart home systems. I would really love to say "Google, play Mozart in master bedroom" and have it start playing Mozart. Right now, that's not possible.
