Wattson Audio Emerson Digital / streamer – digital out

The Emerson Digital is Wattson Audio’s dedicated network bridge, built to turn any DAC into a streaming DAC or to improve the performance of one you already own. Focused only on what truly matters, it removes unnecessary extras and keeps the features that raise sound quality and usability. As a result, you get high-end engineering distilled into its most effective form.

Benchmark engineering

Sending a clean network signal to a DAC requires extreme precision to avoid timing errors, noise, and jitter. That’s why every part of the Emerson Digital, its advanced circuits, carefully chosen components, and solid aluminum chassis, shows Wattson’s expertise and dedication to quality. Its proprietary software, powered by a Texas Instruments Sitara processor, is the same trusted platform found in world-class digital audio systems.

Future-proof performance

The Emerson Digital is designed not just for today but also for the future. Thanks to ongoing updates, it stays compatible with new network protocols and streaming services as they appear. At the same time, it preserves data integrity with absolute accuracy while delivering a smooth, intuitive user experience. With native support for high-resolution PCM and DSD formats, it plays music without conversion, keeping every detail intact.

Bit-perfect architecture

The Emerson Digital delivers a truly “bit-perfect” signal, maintaining purity from its RJ45 input to its AES/EBU and S/PDIF outputs. Each output has its own modulator, tuned for maximum precision. At the core sits a custom clocking system with two ultra-low-noise oscillators, one for 44.1kHz and another for 48kHz. Only the needed oscillator runs at a time, which lowers noise and jitter while ensuring accurate timing across the signal path.

Effortless control

Controlling the Emerson Digital is simple with Wattson Music for iOS and Wattson Remote for Android. These apps give you quick access to both personal libraries and top streaming services, while advanced options remain close at hand. Designed for clarity and speed, they put full control of your system right at your fingertips.
