Wattson Emerson Analog
A single-box streamer with its own DAC, connecting your network directly to your amplifier.
The Emerson Analog connects your network directly to your amplifier in a single box. By replacing several devices, cables and connections with one carefully engineered component, it removes potential sources of error. It combines Wattson's proprietary streaming engine with the WM8742 DAC in a very compact, precision-milled billet aluminium enclosure made in Switzerland.

What it solves
Engineered to deliver accurate sound in real rooms, not just anechoic chambers.
All-in-one streaming DAC
Combines Wattson's proprietary streaming engine, a high-performance DAC and an analog output in a single compact unit: the shortest path from network to amplifier.
WM8742 DAC
The acclaimed Cirrus Logic/Wolfson WM8742 DAC gracefully handles both PCM and DSD formats, delivering detailed, natural sound reproduction.
Bit-perfect data path
Dual ultra-low-noise oscillators for 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz families ensure minimal jitter, with no processing applied to the incoming digital stream beyond lossless volume adjustment.
Swiss precision craftsmanship
Solid billet aluminium casework, precision-machined for structural integrity and acoustic isolation, reflecting Wattson's commitment to build quality.
