With the new WANDLA Dac, the Ferrum Audio team are making a statement to the current and next generation of music lovers. WANDLA represents tomorrow’s standard of high end digital-to-analog conversion. Think of WANDLA like a Formula 1 racing car. Like the F1 constructor’s team building the best racing car, Ferrum created the best engine for The Converter. WANDLA offers flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price.
Highlights:
- WANDLA fully balanced DAC/PREAMP
- Proprietary IC power amp design
- Proprietary optimised-for-audio digital inputs (USB-C, Optical and Coaxial S/PDIF, ARC, I2S, AES/EBU)
- Proprietary optimised MQA® rendering and decoding for ARM chip
- Proprietary HQ Player filters (eight in total, three accessible at launch)
- Proprietary 4-pin Ferrum connector for HYPSOS
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line outputs
- Digital and Analogue volume control
- EES Sabre ES9038PRO with seven filter setting

While WANDLA performs very good right out of the box it is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS. Using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection both components will perform to their maximum, unleashing unheard of musicality
Unique output cable design: two wires delivering the power and two wires providing the feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. We named this technique Ferrum Power Link (FPL) and it eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response. The current delivery speed at the powered device's input is significantly improved.
WANDLA comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of WANDLA you can connect it with HYPSOS using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.
