Tomorrow’s High End Audio Today
As The Converter WANDLA leads the way for tomorrow’s high end at tentative price levels. WANDLA offers flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price.

Finely tuned DA conversion
WANDLA is the embodiment of Ferrum’s digital know-how and their in house developed analogue audio and electrical technology. The ESS Sabre ES9038PRO current to voltage (I/V) converter is fine-tuned to perform to its maximum.

Optimized ARM
Optimized ARM chip offers shortest signal path possible making 5 chips redundant. Includes MQA® decoder and renderer.

Dynamic Digital Filtering
WANDLA has seven ESS digital filters to choose from as standard and, as a world first, lets its audience vote the best from a total of eight WANDLA filters, created for Ferrum by renowned filter-maker HQ Player

Optimized Digital inputs
Specially programmed USB, and tuned coaxial and optical S/PDIF, ARC (TV) and I2S ports, optimized for audio

Truly Balanced
The signal path stays truly balanced using the XLR inputs and becomes truly balanced using the RCA inputs.

Enhanced transparency
The whole design is focused on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue something of the past.

Made for HYPSOS
While WANDLA performs very good right out of the box it is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS. Using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection both components will perform to their maximum, unleashing unheard of musicality.

Features

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.

WANDLA comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of WANDLA you can connect it with HYPSOS using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.

Hypsos Dual-Output

It made sense for Ferrum to continue the journey up the hifi chain. It brought us OOR, our flagship headphone amplifier, ERCO, our entry level DAC and WANDLA, The Converter. What these products have in common is their power requirements. And one of HYPSOS’ features is its enormous power reserves… Do you see it coming?

Power reserves are so abundantly available that HYPSOS could in fact easily power two devices at the same time, as long as they have the same supply voltage requirements. While we first started offering our Ferrum Power Splitter, we now offer HYPSOS with two power outputs. This means you can now connect two Ferrum devices, for instance OOR and WANDLA (or two other devices with the same power requirements) simultaneously, without the need for another external component and associated cable spaghetti. HYPSOS with double output brings you an extra level of upgradeability at an exciting price point, again proving Ferrum’s journey to change the landscape of high-end audio in relation to affordability is indeed a continuing saga.

PLEASE NOTE: Hypsos Dual-Output comes with ONE cable; auxiliary output cable must be purchased separately.

HYPSOS Dual Output

Comes with a high quality DC power cable fitted to order to connect to the most commonly used DC inputs. Custom cables can be made to order.

Hybrid Power System

Linear/switching hybrid design to get the advantages from both techniques - low ripple and noise as well as fast transient response and high efficiency.

Sweet Spot Tuning (SST)

Possibility to fine tune the output voltage for the best sound. The voltage level can be safely adjusted on the fly to allow easy comparison testing.

Advanced Automation

Compatibility with Apple TV remote, Trigger in/out connector; possibility to automate power-up of the devices with standby mode even without dedicated trigger connection.

Detailed and revealing yet unfatiguing sound

Makes your current audio setup perform to its potential. Tweak the sound modifying the voltage level on the fly and use the preferred combination of the 4-Terminal Sensing and Spread Spectrum Mode settings.

Distinct user levels

Using pre-configured settings from the list of supported devices or setting custom parameters manually. Wide continuous ouput voltage range of 5-30V with up to 6A of current delivered to the load. HYPSOS is as universal a device as it gets.

4T Sensing Design (4TSD)

Ensuring the exact voltage level precisely at the point of the powered device DC input terminal - special cable design and feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. This technique eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response.

Extremely safe to use

Automatic Transformer Voltage Adjust (ATVA), Electronic Output Voltage Polarity Switch and overvoltage, current limit and short protection.
