WANDLA – The Converter
WANDLA represents tomorrow’s standard of high-end digital-to-analogue conversion, offering flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price. Ferrum transformed its ARM chip so it does the work of five, and took the ESS Sabre DAC to the next level with a new current-to-voltage converter.
Its Dynamic Digital Filtering lets you fine-tune the sound to your taste, with an ESS filter plus filters created for Ferrum by renowned filter-maker HQ Player. The fully balanced, modified IC preamplifier keeps the signal path truly balanced, and the whole design is focused on a transparent sound signature that makes listening fatigue a thing of the past. From CD to streaming, mp3 to super hi-res, classical to hard rock – WANDLA is the perfect companion for OOR.
Made for HYPSOS
Performs beautifully straight out of the box, but can be taken further still when paired with the Ferrum HYPSOS hybrid power supply via the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection with 4-terminal voltage sensing.
