Wattson Madison Streamer
A network player and DAC from Wattson Audio, combining proprietary spline filtering with Swiss precision engineering.
The Madison Streamer is a network player and DAC, designed and engineered entirely in Switzerland by the same team behind CH Precision. It combines a robust analog output stage with an advanced DSP architecture. Its proprietary Spline filter follows the same time-domain design philosophy as CH Precision's products and is optimised for timing accuracy. With network streaming and S/PDIF digital inputs, and balanced and single-ended outputs, it fits easily into any system.

What it solves
Engineered to deliver accurate sound in real rooms, not just anechoic chambers.
Proprietary Spline filter
A time-domain-optimised upsampling algorithm, based on the same design philosophy as CH Precision's products, that minimises pre- and post-ringing for realistic transients and rhythmic integrity.
64-bit digital volume control
Developed with CH Precision, operating in precise 0.5 dB steps verified to within ±0.1 dB. Preserves microdynamic nuance whether used as a digital preamplifier or feeding an analog stage.
Dual mono DAC architecture
Dual WM8742 DACs, one per channel, ensure superior separation, spatial coherence and tonal purity for faithful musical reproduction.
Ultra-low-noise power architecture
Noise levels below 1 µV RMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) with dedicated filtering and regulation for each critical subsystem, from clock generators to the analog output stage.
