Ferrum Audio Wandla Stationary DAC

Wandla is Ferrum’s flagship D/A Converter. With Wandla, Ferrum is making a statement to the current and next generation of music lovers, because it 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. Ferrum transformed its ARM chip, making it capable of doing the work of five chips, and took the ESS Sabre DAC chip to the next level with its current to voltage converter. With its power technology coming from both OOR and Hypsos, you may rest assured you are getting the absolute best Ferrum can build. By adding a unique set of digital filters, you now can fine-tune your DAC to your specific sonic needs. Wandla will sound great right out of the box, but please feel free to experiment with the various digital filter settings. Many hours of musical bliss are right in front of you. 

The most important features are:

• Finely tuned DA conversion - Wandla is the latest exemplar of Ferrum’s digital know-how and its in-house-developed analogue audio and electrical technology. The ESS Sabre ES9038PRO combined with Ferrum’s advanced current-to-voltage (I/V) converter compares to units many times its price.
• Serce - digital audio system module - the optimized ARM chip offers the shortest signal path possible, making 5 chips redundant. Includes MQA decoder/renderer and digital filter selection.
• Dynamic Digital Filtering - Wandla has three ESS digital filters to choose as standard and, as a world first, two digital filters created for Ferrum by renowned filter-maker Signalyst, know for their HQPlayer app. More filters will follow after interacting with Wandla users.
• Optimized Digital inputs - specially programmed USB, and tuned coaxial and optical S/PDIF, ARC (TV) and I2S ports, optimized for audio.
• Truly Balanced - the signal path stays truly balanced using the XLR inputs and becomes truly balanced using the RCA inputs.
• Proprietary Amplification - fully balanced modified IC pre-amplifier, fine tuned for Wandla.
• Ease of Use - the hi-res touch screen with intuitive UX that is a dream to operate, including remote control.
• Enhanced Transparency - the whole design is focussed on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue something of the past.
• Made for Hypsos - Wandla performs beautifully right out of the box, but you can take its performance above and beyond when pairing it with Hypsos. Using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection with 4TSD voltage sensing, both components will perform to their absolute maximum, unleashing unheard-of musicality.
