Wattson Audio Madison LE Streamer

Sale price$7,850.00 CAD

The Wattson Audio Madison LE is a compact network player, DAC and digital preamplifier built around Wattson Audio's proprietary streaming engine. It supports high-resolution PCM and DSD playback, S/PDIF digital sources and app-based playback control.

Balanced XLR, single-ended RCA and headphone outputs allow the Madison LE to feed a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or power amplifier directly. Its DSP platform provides proprietary time-optimized filtering and digital volume control through updateable in-house firmware.

Mike’s Pick

Why I love it

Madison LE is the sort of digital component that can simplify a system without making the experience feel reduced. Its small enclosure hides a remarkably complete source and control centre, and the emphasis on timing, low noise and long-term software support makes it feel built for listening rather than technology collecting.
