With WANDLA, Ferrum is making a bold statement to both current and next-generation audiophiles. This flagship product embodies the future of high-end digital-to-analog conversion, setting a new standard for excellence in audio performance. Think of WANDLA as a Formula 1 racing car crafted with precision, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Much like an F1 constructor builds the fastest and most advanced racing machine, Ferrum has engineered WANDLA to be the pinnacle of digital audio technology.
Tomorrow’s High-End Audio Today
As The Converter, WANDLA leads the charge into the future of high-end audio. It combines flagship-level sound quality with an unprecedented price point, making elite digital-to-analog conversion accessible to discerning listeners. Ferrum’s commitment to innovation ensures that WANDLA not only meets but exceeds the expectations of audiophiles seeking the very best.
Finely Tuned Digital-to-Analog Conversion
WANDLA showcases Ferrum’s extensive expertise in digital and analog audio technology. At its core lies the ESS Sabre ES9038PRODAC, renowned for its exceptional performance. Paired with Ferrum’s proprietary current-to-voltage (I/V) converter, this setup rivals units many times its price. The result is a highly refined and detailed sound reproduction that captures every nuance of your music.
Advanced Digital System
The heart of WANDLA’s digital system is the SERCE module, an optimized audio system built around an in-house-developed ARM chip. This design minimizes signal path length, reducing redundancy and enhancing clarity. The module also includes MQA decoding and rendering, along with digital filter selection, offering flexibility and high-fidelity playback options tailored to your preferences.
Dynamic Digital Filtering
WANDLA introduces a groundbreaking feature: dynamic digital filtering. It incorporates ESS’s digital filter option, enhanced by four custom digital filters developed by Signalyst famous for their HQPlayer app. These filters provide users with a variety of sound profiles, and future updates will include additional filters based on user feedback, ensuring the system evolves with your listening experience.
Optimized Digital Inputs
Every digital input on WANDLA is carefully tuned for optimal audio performance. The USB port, coaxial, optical S/PDIF, AES, ARC (TV), and I2S ports have been specially programmed to deliver the purest sound possible. These inputs are meticulously optimized to minimize noise and maximize fidelity across various digital sources.
Truly Balanced Signal Path
WANDLA’s analog section features a truly balanced signal path. RCA inputs are converted to balanced at the first stage, ensuring symmetrical signal flow and reducing distortion. The proprietary amplification employs a fully balanced, modified IC pre-amplifierthat has been fine-tuned specifically for WANDLA, delivering a transparent and dynamic sound signature.
Ease of Use and User Experience
Navigating high-end audio equipment should be effortless, and WANDLA delivers with a newly developed high-resolution touchscreen featuring an intuitive user interface. The system also includes a remote control, making operation straightforward and enjoyable for both casual and serious audiophiles.
Focused on Transparency and Listening Comfort
Designed with a focus on transparency, WANDLA offers a balanced sound signature that minimizes listening fatigue. Its construction ensures that each note and detail is conveyed with clarity, enabling long listening sessions without strain.
Enhanced Performance with HYPSOS Integration
WANDLA is not just a standalone masterpiece it’s engineered to perform even better when paired with HYPSOS, Ferrum’s renowned power supply. Using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection, which employs 4TSD voltage sensing, both components work in perfect harmony to unleash unprecedented musicality.
Innovative Power Delivery
The FPL connection features a unique output cable design with two wires for power and two for feedback, ensuring flat voltage delivery at all times. This technique effectively eliminates the influence of cable resistance, dramatically improving transient response and current delivery speed. WANDLA, when combined with HYPSOS via the FPL DC power cable (sold separately), reaches a new level of sonic performance.
