The Wattson Audio Emerson ANALOG is a high-end network player and digital-to-analogue converter designed to stream high-resolution audio directly into your amplifier's line input. By combining a digital streaming transport and a high-performance DAC within a single compact chassis, the Wattson Audio Emerson ANALOG removes extra cables and clutter to deliver a direct, uncompromised path to high-fidelity sound.Shortest Signal Path for Pure Sound:Replacing multi-box setups with a single, dedicated unit eliminates potential sources of signal loss. The Wattson Audio Emerson ANALOG feeds an analogue signal straight to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier, maintaining total signal integrity and allowing your favourite music to sound natural, immediate, and detailed.Advanced Clocking and Conversion:At the core of the Wattson Audio Emerson ANALOG is a Wolfson WM8742 DAC paired with two ultra-low-noise oscillators dedicated to 44.1kHz and 48kHz frequency families. By activating only the precise clock required for the current track, digital jitter is kept to a minimum. The integration of lossless LEEDH Processing volume control allows precise gain matching to your amplifier without altering audio resolution or discarding dynamic range.Solid Swiss Craftsmanship:Housed in a solid block of CNC-machined aluminum, the Wattson Audio Emerson ANALOG protects delicate internal audio circuits from external mechanical vibrations and electrical noise. Every internal component is chosen for its acoustic neutrality, resulting in a refined audio component that performs reliably day after day.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Wattson Audio.
