The Madison Power S is the kind of component that makes you rethink what a power supply can actually do to music. Born from the same Préverenges engineering culture that shapes CH Precision's reference-grade sources, it feeds the Madison Streamer (as well as the Emerson Analog, Emerson Digital, or Madison Phono) with ultra-clean, tightly regulated 5V DC—eliminating the low-frequency grunge that conventional supplies inject into sensitive digital circuits. What you hear downstream is a quieter background, sharper transients, and a soundstage with real air between instruments. Dynamic swings feel less compressed, low-level detail surfaces more naturally, and the whole presentation settles into an easy, unforced realism. Its milled aluminum chassis, hybrid switching-plus-linear topology, and discrete bipolar output regulator are serious engineering—compact in footprint, serious in purpose.

Power lies at the foundation of musical performance. In Préverenges, Switzerland—where CH Precision and Wattson Audio share their headquarters, production, and engineering workshops—the same team of engineers and craftsmen pursue a single vision: a common language of precision and the belief that true musical expression begins with flawless power delivery.
The Madison Power S employs a hybrid power design that merges the efficiency of switching regulation with the finesse of linear control. This combination achieves exceptional electrical performance while minimizing heat and energy loss. Its milled aluminum chassis provides both mechanical stability and electromagnetic isolation, ensuring the internal circuits operate in an electrically silent environment. At the input stage, a precision power line filter suppresses unwanted noise and high-frequency interference before it reaches the switched-mode section. The converted DC is then refined through a combination of passive and active filters, supported by substantial energy storage to maintain voltage stability under dynamic load conditions.
The Madison Power S was conceived as the ideal companion to the Madison Streamer, both architecturally and electronically. Sharing the same footprint and aesthetic language, it forms a unified system that looks—and performs—as one. By lowering the noise floor and increasing dynamic headroom, the Power S reveals new layers of musical information. Dynamic contrasts become sharper, spatial cues more vivid, and low-level detail emerges from a quieter, blacker background.
