Design
You're probably asking yourself, "Where's the screen?" Well, that's the beauty of the Madison Streamer. It's a low-profile, easy-to-use audio solution that doesn't need a screen. Let's face it: the flashy features, tiny buttons and knobs, and over-the-top UI are great, but they're not always needed. Sometimes, all the extra fluff can be more of a hindrance than a luxury. So while you may look at the Madison Streamer and see a plain chassis, I see a component designed intentionally–one that delivers you exactly what you paid for; no more, no less.
This minimalist approach keeps as many extra bells and whistles out of the picture as possible to make things as pure as possible. At 6.9" x 7.3" x 2.1", the Madison Streamer is smaller than most home audio hi-fi components. It's the perfect desktop unit that rests comfortably on a shelf or sits hidden away in a cabinet. You don't have to play "keep or toss" with your things to make room for the Madison.
As a true Swiss manufacturer, every detail, from design to assembly, takes place in Switzerland. The Madison is crafted from durable, sustainably sourced materials chosen for their acoustic integrity and minimal environmental impact. The precision-milled aluminum chassis is carved from a solid aluminum billet–a process that is more costly than conventional methods, but it reaps incredible benefits: Structural integrity, superior mechanical damping, and optimal electromagnetic shielding. Each unit is built to perform flawlessly over many years of happy listening.
Externally, the Madison Streamer has been updated with two distinct finishes available: light gray and dark gray, allowing you more flexibility to match the streamer to your existing setup and preferences. A separate external power supply not only provides the ability to upgrade it in the future, but also a clear signal path. While you won't find a screen on the face of the Madison Streamer, what you will find is a large digital volume control that enhances transparency, a 6.3mm headphone jack, and four LED indicator lights for power, coaxial input, Toslink input, and network connection. The 1/4" headphone jack is capable of delivering 150mW on 32 ohms, 50mW on 150 ohms, and 10mW on 600 ohms–more than adequate for most audiophile-grade headphones.
The Madison is primarily controlled through the Wattson Music App (Jump to Features for more information), with access to your library, streaming services, and settings. To power on/off the unit, press and hold the volume control knob for roughly three seconds. Short-press it once to enter standby mode, and long press to power off the unit entirely.
The Madison's connectivity options are curated to serve its primary purpose as a network streamer. There is no USB input, so the component must be connected to your network via Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet connection. If you choose Wi-Fi, there are dedicated Wi-Fi access points available to support that connectivity. A 100Mbit/s Ethernet port on the back panel provides reliable wired network connectivity for those who prefer a stable, hardwired connection.
The Madison supports S/PDIF digital sources with both RCA coaxial and Toslink optical inputs on the back panel, making it easy to pair with a CD player or other digital sources in your system. The analog outputs include one single-ended pair of RCA connectors and one balanced pair of XLR connectors. The RCA output delivers 2.0V RMS at 0dB FS, while the XLR outputs provide 4.0V RMS at 0dB FS, giving you plenty of output voltage to drive most amplifiers with authority.
Sound
After setting up the Madison Streamer at my desk, which entailed plugging the separate power supply into the unit and connecting an Ethernet Cable, I turned it on, enabled it as an audio zone in Roon, and started enjoying my favorite demo tracks. All in all, this setup took less than 10 minutes–quick and painless. I have a standing desk riser placed on top of my large desktop. There's about seven inches of clearance underneath the riser where the Madison sat perfectly nestled out of the way, yet incredibly close for quick volume adjustments.
I spent about an hour listening via Roon on my desktop and then decided to check out the Wattson Music App, which I had downloaded on my iPhone. I'll be honest, I didn't expect much to change between Roon and Wattson's dedicated app, but there was a noticeable difference in sound quality once I started listening with the app...for the better. The sound was richer, more lively, and came in much clearer and closer. I'm not sure how or why, but I'm not complaining.
Once I launched the app, I faced initial frustration because it kept telling me there was no device to connect to. It prompted me to confirm that both the streamer and my phone were on the same network. What do you know, I had made the rookie mistake of using the guest Wi-Fi, which was indeed not the same network the Madison was connected to. I quickly switched to the correct network, reopened the app, and almost instantly, the Madison popped up as an available device to connect.
Once I connected the device, the app prompted me to access my personal library, one of the supported streaming services, or protocols. Qobuz is our go-to here at Moon Audio, so I logged into my account, accessed my favorites, and started listening. Simple and painless.
The Madison Streamer delivers a sound quality that prioritizes neutrality and accuracy above all else. The headphones or speakers paired with a piece of gear can have a significant impact on the overall sonic presentation. If the headphones are naturally bass-heavy, the entire system can skew that way, making it difficult to decipher which sonic qualities originate from the headphones and which come from the component. Over the years of testing audio gear, I've developed a systematic approach: Begin listening with a neutral-sounding headphone to establish a baseline of the gear's tonality. Once identified, I introduce headphones with more pronounced colorations.
To achieve that neutrality, I started with the Meze Audio 105 AER Headphones, a balanced and naturally organic-sounding pair of cans. From the first few songs, it quickly became clear to me that the Madison is engineered to provide an authentic listening experience, where vocals are rich with emotional depth, instruments are layered with impressive separation and imaging, and details emerge naturally.
The bass response has been a topic of discussion among reviewers, and it deserves a special mention. For a component of this size, the Madison delivers a punchy low-end that's impressive and unexpected. The infamous phrase "Never judge a book by its cover" is what makes the Madison the ultimate underdog. You initially look at this component and think, "How good can the sound quality really be from a unit this small?" Well...pretty dang good. The bass response is perfect. It's not overly bloated and doesn't rumble, but when paired with bassy headphones, it delivers a big, bold mid-bass presentation.
The soundstage is equally impressive, stretching both wide and deep for an awesome three-dimensional space. The most important takeaway from my listening sessions, though, is the Madison's ability to deliver infectious energy and emotion that draws you into the music. There's a lively quality to the sound that keeps you engaged–details are presented with clarity and refinement, but never in a way that feels analytical. The Madison Streamer manages to be both detailed and musical, a combination that's harder to achieve than it might seem.
Whether it's the rhythmic flow of reggae that draws you in, or the nuance and detail of jazz, classical, and complex passages, the Madison conveys your favorite songs with authenticity and emotion. The type of finesse that reveals music exactly as it was meant to be heard.
