Something great just got even better

The EISA award-winning WANDLA continues to be one of the best DA converters in its league. The GoldenSound Edition added three features – Impact+, Tube Mode and Spatial Enhancement – and in Gen 2 Ferrum’s engineers completely overhauled each one and gave it its own Ferrum Sweet Spot Tuning.

Shape the low end with seven predesigned bass and dynamics settings, dial in the warmth of five classic valve designs, and fine-tune imaging with independent spatial and transient controls. Higher immunity to intersample overs lets you play any music free from added distortion, while the hardware voltage divider ensures compatibility with every amplifier without digital volume.

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.
