Its a Huge improvement especially if the Emerson streamer is used with an LPSU like Farad Super 3. It's impossible for me to go back to streaming directly using ethernet.
Have you compared other streamers before buying the Wattson? I'm often considering also buying a streamer as I could read some forum members prefer them above the direct connection. I only use vinyl (SL1200GR2 and Nagaoka MP500) as a source with the Devialet as I can't enjoy the digital streaming at all. The vinyl setup plays really good!! I've tried also HQplayer with my Mac Mini (USB connection and DSD64) but it still doesn't sound right for me, there's definitely more punch but overall a bit lifeless i guess.
