Description
Ferrum Audio WANDLA DAC – prepare to be converted by the real thing!
With WANDLA, we 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.
“With Dynamic Digital Filtering, DDF in short, digital filter maker Signalyst, famous for their HQPlayer app created filters exclusively for Ferrum. At the introduction WANDLA will feature two special filter options. We will engage with our community to make new filters available, one by one. Doing this we create a new community of digital filter specialists by interaction with us and their WANDLA’s, in search of the best possible, tailor-made sound. This is truly unique to Ferrum, to the category of DA converters and to the hifi community in general.”
– Marcin Hamerla, Founder and CEO HEM
Best Features:
Tomorrow’s High End Audio Today
As The Converter WANDLA leads the way for tomorrow’s high end offering flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price.
Finely tuned DA conversion
WANDLA is the latest exemplar of Ferrum’s digital know-how and our in-house-developed analogue audio and electrical technology. The ESS Sabre ES9038PRO combined with Ferrum’s advanced new current-to-voltage (I/V) converter compares to units many times its price.
SERCE
Digital audio system module – Our 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 selected ESS digital filter, as a world first, four digital filters created for Ferrum by renowned filter-maker Signalyst, known 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, AES, ARC (TV) and I2S ports, optimized for audio.
Truly Balanced
The analog signal path is truly balanced. RCA inputs are converted to balanced at the first stage.
Proprietary amplification
Fully balanced modified IC pre-amplifier, fine-tuned for WANDLA.
Ease of use
Newly developed hi-res touch screen with intuitive UX that is a dream to operate, including remote control.
Enhanced transparency
The whole design is focused on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue something of the past.
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.
OOR comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of OOR you can connect it with HYPSOS using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.
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.
Combine Ferrum Audio WANDLA DAC with a HYPSOS power supply to unleash unheard of musicality. Together they will excel above and beyond.
