All New Wandla HP. The Flahship just got a HP Jack.
This new Headphone model diminutive DAC/Pre-amp has no right to offer and sound as it does. We've compared it to DACs costing well over twice its price and its within 5% of the performance. Complete complement of inputs also make this DAC future proof. Many upgrades are a firmware/software update away.... Mini review by True Audiophile.

"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."

A one-box solution, ideal for music lovers who listen to both headphones and speakers
True Ferrum minimalism: a single 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced output has been added to the front panel
• High quality 4.4mm→6.35mm adapter included in the box
• Same fully balanced topology
• Outputs 3.5 watts into 50 Ω
• Dynamic range of 122 dB
• Can be used with GoldenSound firmware, available at ferrum.audio (Additional $500)
HP incorporates top-tier headphone amplification into WANDLA's architecture while preserving the same sleek chassis

Golden Sound Edition:
- Elevated digital headroom
- Higher immunity to intersample overs even in bypass mode at full output level, allowing you to play back any music free from additional distortion, and enjoy a high-quality sound.
- Tube Mode
- An intentional increase of the even-order harmonic distortion produced by the DAC, similar to the distortion added by a tube amplifier. This allows the user to enjoy a warmer, richer sound without directly changing the frequency response.
- Spatial Enhancement
- A unique spatial enhancement to provide an expanded soundstage and improved clarity of separation between musical elements, whilst avoiding the drawbacks commonly found in other approaches. It has two modes of operation: headphone and speaker mode tailored differently for different use cases.
- Impact+
- For those who enjoy a little more low-end in their music listening experience. This feature uses a customized two-band EQ which not only elevates bass but provides additional ‘punch’ and dynamic impact as well.
- New Voltage Adjustment
- The WANDLA GoldenSound Edition benefits from a hardware level output voltage adjustment of standard WANDLA, allowing the user to swap between just below 10 Vrms output to a just below 4 Vrms output. This is facilitated via a dedicated hardware voltage divider, allowing the user to select lower output voltage and ensure compatibility with all amplifiers, without a need to use any digital volume control, or to have analog volume control components in the signal path.
- Dynamic Digital Filtering
- WANDLA has three ESS digital filters to choose as standard and, as a world first, two digital filters created for Ferrum by renowned filter-maker Signalyst, know for their HQPlayer app. More filters will follow after interacting with WANDLA users.
- Proprietary amplification
- Fully balanced modified IC pre-amplifier, fine tuned for WANDLA.
- Optimized Digital inputs
- Specially programmed USB, and tuned coaxial and optical S/PDIF, ARC (TV) and I2S ports, optimized for audio.
- 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.
- 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.
