The Ferrum WANDLA is a reference-grade DAC and fully balanced preamplifier designed for discerning audiophiles who demand uncompromising digital audio performance. Combining advanced conversion technology, proprietary signal processing, and precision analog circuitry, WANDLA transforms high-resolution digital music into a rich, detailed, and emotionally engaging listening experience.

Whether connected to a dedicated stereo system, headphone amplifier, powered speakers, or a premium home audio setup, WANDLA delivers exceptional transparency, dynamic range, and tonal accuracy that reveal every nuance of your music collection.

Advanced ESS Sabre DAC Architecture

At the heart of WANDLA is the flagship ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC, carefully implemented with Ferrum's own analog output stage and proprietary current-to-voltage (I/V) conversion design. This optimized architecture minimizes distortion while preserving the natural character of every recording, producing a spacious soundstage, precise imaging, and outstanding musical detail. It supports ultra-high-resolution PCM up to 768 kHz / 32-bit and DSD 512, making it ready for today's highest-quality digital formats.

Proprietary Digital Signal Processing

Unlike conventional DACs, WANDLA incorporates Ferrum's dedicated SERCE™ digital processing platform, providing an ultra-short signal path and advanced digital filtering. Developed in collaboration with the creators of HQPlayer, the selectable digital filters allow listeners to tailor playback characteristics while maintaining exceptional timing, clarity, and transparency.

Fully Balanced DAC and Preamplifier

More than just a digital converter, WANDLA functions as a premium balanced preamplifier. Its precision analog volume control, balanced XLR outputs, and RCA outputs make it easy to integrate into virtually any high-end stereo system. Users can choose between analog and digital volume control, offering maximum flexibility whether the unit is connected directly to power amplifiers or used alongside a separate preamp.

Comprehensive Connectivity

Designed as the digital hub of a modern audio system, WANDLA provides an extensive selection of inputs including USB, AES/EBU, Optical, Coaxial S/PDIF, HDMI ARC, and I²S, allowing seamless integration with computers, music streamers, CD transports, televisions, and other digital sources. Analog RCA input support further expands system flexibility, while the intuitive touchscreen interface and supplied remote control make everyday operation simple and convenient.

Designed to Work with Ferrum HYPSOS

For listeners seeking even greater performance, WANDLA is fully compatible with the Ferrum HYPSOS hybrid power supply via the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL). This upgrade enhances power delivery and system stability, unlocking even greater resolution, dynamics, and overall sonic refinement.
