The Emerson DIGITAL is a network streamer with built-in DAC from Wattson Audio, built into a remarkably compact and lightweight chassis. The Emerson DIGITAL brings Wattson Audio's considered engineering to a space-efficient streaming format.

Key specs that matter

A built-in DAC handles conversion, with PCM support up to 24-bit/192kHz. At a remarkably small 104 x 87 x 38mm and just 0.371kg, the Emerson DIGITAL is among the smallest and lightest network streamers with built-in DAC currently available.

Sound and use context

Expect clean, dependable conversion packed into an astonishingly tiny and lightweight chassis, consistent with Wattson Audio's broader space-efficient engineering philosophy.

Pairing

The built-in DAC lets the Emerson DIGITAL connect directly to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier without needing a separate outboard converter.

Alternatives

Wattson Audio's own Madison Streamer sits above this model with more comprehensive format support, worth comparing directly to find the right Wattson streaming tier.
