WANDLA HP – A Great-Sounding Headphone Amplifier

Ferrum introduces the latest family member of WANDLA, WANDLA HP. Ferrum’s journey up the Hifi chain brought them HYPSOS, their revolutionary hybrid power system, OOR, their flagship headphone amplifier, ERCO, their entry-level DAC, and WANDLA, their flagship DAC. What these products have in common is their upgradeability with HYPSOS. WANDLA HP resides comfortably between the entry and super flagship levels for headphone enthusiasts.

WANDLA HP essentially is WANDLA with a great-sounding headphone amplifier. It will satisfy those seeking more than ERCO has to offer but are not ready for WANDLA in combination with OOR, the super flagship option. Incorporating all great options and specifications from WANDLA, Ferrum’s engineers integrated a powerful, fully balanced composite IC headphone amplifier at quality levels that come very close to OOR’s. As with all of Ferrum’s gear, you can reach for the stars by combining WANDLA HP with HYPSOS. It has the looks, it’s all about the music, and it’s a guaranteed head-turner.

Dynamic Digital Filtering

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 HP will feature two special filter options. We will engage with our community to make new filters available, one by one. By doing this we create a new community of digital filter specialists by interacting 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 the Hifi community in general.

Unique output cable design

Unique output cable design: two wires deliver the power and two wires provide 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.
