The Madison LE Streamer is a network streamer with built-in DAC from Wattson Audio, built into a remarkably compact chassis with a strong signal-to-noise figure. The Madison LE Streamer brings Wattson's considered engineering to a space-efficient streaming digital source format.

Key specs that matter

A built-in DAC handles conversion, with support up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256. Output level is 2V balanced or 4V single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds a strong 120dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.001% at 22kHz. At a remarkably compact 174 x 185 x 52mm and just 1.075kg, the Madison LE Streamer maintains a space-efficient streaming digital source chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the strong over-120dB signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figure, packed into this remarkably compact chassis.

Pairing

Wattson's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.

Alternatives

Other manufacturers' comparable compact network streamers offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare format support and features at a similar price point.
