Swiss Precision
Meets Musical Purity
 
Wattson Audio's flagship digital streamer and DAC, the Madison LE Streamer, embodies Wattson's philosophy of purity and simplicity while pushing the boundaries of digital audio performance at its price point. At its core, Madison LE Streamer's advanced and upgradable DSP-driven digital circuitry elevates musical fidelity and musicality. Engineered and crafted entirely in Switzerland using premium materials, the Madison LE Streamer produces undeniable accuracy and musical beauty, offering a listening experience that’s as precise as it is emotionally resonant.
 
Designed with a singular focus on delivering extraordinary sound in its purest form, the Madison LE Streamer redefines expectations at its price point. Its eerily silent noise floor and robust output stage provide the control and authority needed to drive connected power amplifiers. The result is a musical experience rich in dynamic contrast, delicate nuance, and emotional engagement—hallmarks typically reserved for far larger and more expensive components. Faithful to Wattson Audio’s engineering ethos, the Madison LE Streamer prioritizes superior musical performance above all else, embodying a rare synergy of craftsmanship and artistry.
 
Wattson Audio's Pinnacle of
Precision and Performance
The Madison LE Streamer represents Wattson Audio’s definitive statement in digital audio playback and control. Its robust analog stage is engineered to drive power amplifiers directly or with preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers. Supporting both streamed and S/PDIF digital sources, the Madison LE Streamer features a sophisticated DSP-driven DAC paired with balanced and single-ended outputs. Compact, simple, and superbly engineered, the Madison LE Streamer is the centerpiece of a streamlined yet high-performance digital audio system.
​
With the Lounge Edition, we set out to take the original Madison Streamer to new heights. We started by enhancing the external power supply. Introducing an AC input filter, paired with precision linear regulation, delivered transformative improvements. Inside the main chassis, we doubled the power supply capacitance and upgraded to premium capacitors, ensuring cleaner, more stable power—an essential foundation for elevating performance.
​
Wattson's fully balanced differential design uses two pairs of op-amps per channel, optimizing the interface to the DAC chips and enhancing its ability to drive connected power amplifiers. Additionally, we upgraded the critical coupling capacitors between the DAC chips and the analog output stage, improving transparency. The result is not just a technical achievement but an elevation in the realism and emotional impact of the listening experience.
