## What is Matrio Control?

The Matrio™ Control app provides comprehensive and straightforward control of Dayton Audio's DAX88 or Matrix88 8-Source, 8-Zone Distrubuted Audio Matrix Systems. Matrio™ hands you the definitive multi-zone Wi-Fi audio experience while liberating your audio system so you can listen to your music on your terms, no matter where you are in your home or business.
 
Command of All Zone Functions
Matrio™ gives you complete command over each of your eight output zones. The Zone Control menu allows you to adjust all zone settings, including power on/off, source selection, volume control, and mute on/off. Additional functions, including bass, treble, and the left/right balance, are available for each zone. Matrio™ features a simple to navigate interface that gives you streamlined control over your DAX88.
 
Control Multiple Zones at Once
In addition to individual zone control, Matrio™ gives you the ability to group multiple zones for streamlined command. The Group Control menu allows you to adjust all possible zone settings, including power on/off and mute on/off. From the menu, you can also sync volumes and input sources across grouped zones. Choose any combination of zones from all DAX88 units on your network for custom group control.
 
Use Your Preferred Streaming Service
You are already familiar with your go-to streaming app, the DAX88 simplifies listening to the music you love directly from your favorite service. Stream directly to the DAX88 via Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect, or DLNA. The flexibility of streaming options makes it easy to listen to services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, TIDAL, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn throughout your home or business. 
 
Give Your System Custom Names

### 1/5 — Version iPhone 26.2

*2025-12-28, version 2.1*

Bonjour l’application ne fonctionne pas avec la version 26.2

### 2/5 — Unreliable with android.

*2025-12-07, version 2.1*

Sound quality is good but the app is garbage, needs major improvement… all other app like Wiim and 4Stream would find my DAX88, but this app wouldn’t, Making it impossible to
Control my zones. Please fix it

### 1/5 — Connected once but failed forever

*2025-09-26, version 2.1*

It worked perfectly on the first day, but since then the app hasn’t connected to the receiver even once. Every time I try, I just get the same generic error message:

“The app is unable to find your device on the network.
Please confirm whether the device is on and has been connected to the network with an ethernet patch cable or through Wi-Fi using the Dayton Audio Hi-Fly app.
See the user guide of your device for help.

Do you wish to retry?
No, Demo
Yes, Retry”

Very disappointing — it’s basically unusable after day one.

### 5/5 — Gotta give these guys props

*2025-08-22, version 2.1*

I’ve got two of these and have 13 zones in my house. I can play any combination of sources to any zone on the fly anytime from my phone. Yes the app is a little flakey and causes me to sometimes shut it down and bring it up again (a 2-3 second exercise), and the UI isn’t 2025 level. But it does the job better than any other solution I could find. Love these units. People are impressed when I navigate from zone to zone to source, etc. much cheaper than Sonos and the quality is better than Sonos when you use Roon with Tidal for music.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2025-06-30, version 2.1*

no matter what i do this app won’t recognize or connect to any device on my network. spotify sees my system, other Dayon apps see the system but this one just doesn’t no matter what i try. absolute garbage.

### 5/5 — YAS

*2025-05-11, version 2.1*

I love this for my house💗💗💗

### 5/5 — Multi zone music!

*2024-09-25, version 2.1*

Enjoying multi zone music with ease :)

### 1/5 — Not finding my device

*2024-08-25, version 2.1*

I have contacted support as well and no response.  Still can’t connect with my phone.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2024-03-04, version 2.1*

Now it won’t find my device on the network. Submitted two support tickets but haven’t heard anything in a month.

### 4/5 — Easy to use app with a few small glitches

*2023-05-12*

I use this app to control 2 DAX88 matrix amplifiers installed in my home, serving 10 zones. 

The app is straightforward, unfussy, simple to set up and simple to use without losing any of the flexibility of directing any input to any zone. The naming of zones and inputs is very easy and choosing airplay as the input via the home network is as simple as picking any hard wired input. Other than naming there is no opportunity to customise.

It copes reasonably well with there being two DAX 88 , each serving a different set of zones. Two problems with this: it would be nice to be able to see zones from each DAX88 on the same screen rather than having to toggle between the DAX devices first; and, on opening the app, the screen presented is not the one you last used, nor consistently one DAX88 or the other.

Finally, the app is very sensitive to the way the wifi network is set up and also to the strength of the wifi signal near the phone running the app. This can result in bizarre situations where Airplay is happily streaming music ( from the same phone!) to one of the DAX88 while the app denies either of them exist! I eventually simplified my network and added some more mesh nodes to sort this problem. 

If it weren’t for its handling of the wifi connection, this would be 5 stars. I recently replaced a lot of old kit with the DAX88’s and the app is so, so much better than the custom built control app supplied by the old system installer.
