Product Details

Description

The Emerson Analog consolidates network player, DAC, and analog output into a single compact component. The principle is straightforward: eliminate every unnecessary box, cable, and connection point, and give the remaining circuit the engineering attention it deserves. A single Ethernet cable in, a single pair of RCA outputs to your amplifier. That's the system.

Wattson's proprietary streaming engine runs on a Texas Instruments Sitara processor and is firmware-updatable via Ethernet. PCM up to 384kHz and DSD up to DSD64 are handled natively without transcoding. Clocking uses two dedicated ultra-low-noise crystal oscillators, one for the 44.1kHz family and one for 48kHz, with only the active one powered at any time to minimize noise. Volume control uses Wattson's lossless digital algorithm -- no information is discarded. The DAC stage is built around the Wolfson WM8742, the same chip used in the Madison Streamer, running multi-bit Sigma-Delta conversion with a SNR above 120 dB and THD+N below 0.001%. No output filtering is applied -- the signal reaches the RCA outputs as directly as the design allows.

Controlled via Wattson Music for iOS or Wattson Remote for Android. Supports Roon Ready, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, UPnP/DLNA, and Audirvana. CNC machined from solid aluminum in Switzerland. Available in dark gray. For systems where simplicity is the point and performance is non-negotiable.
