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. 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." Marcin Hamerla Founder and CEO HEM And you also get WANDLA With WANDLA HP you get all the benefits and features of the latest version of our beloved WANDLA. This means you get to use our Dynamic Digital Filtering (DDF) options with filters prepared specially for WANDLA by famous digital filter maker Signalyst's Jussi Laako, the best configuration of the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC-chip, the latest version of WANDLA's firmware and all of its innovations making WANDLA one of the best DAC's available today. Two amps in one housing In addition to being a top-notch DA converter, WANDLA HP now doubles as a premium preamplifier and headphone amplifier. You'll find two digitally controlled attenuators for volume control: selectable analogue or digital. WANDLA kept its truly balanced topology, with fully balanced, composite IC headphone amplifier design, fine tuned for WANDLA and fine power section designs. In addition to the six digital inputs (USB-C, coax, optical, AES, ARC, and I2S), there is one unbalanced analogue input. This input bypasses all digital processing to remain faithful to the highest-quality analog sources. Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs and a configurable trigger are provided. As one would expect from Ferrum, there are two DC power inputs (FPL and 5,5 x 2,5mm DC pin) to connect WANDLA to the supplied power supply or our HYPSOS. Under the hood WANDLA HP has at its heart our proprietary ARM-based platform, SERCE. Running Ferrum's software, SERCE processes all incoming digital data streams. Our ARM processor singlehandedly performs the tasks of five chips and creates the shortest possible signal path for the audio-optimized USB, ARC, I2S, coaxial S/PDIF, and optical S/PDIF ports. Behind the conversion stage, our engineering team implemented an advanced current-to-voltage converter and an output stage that benefited from their experience developing the acclaimed OOR. Based on HYPSOS' revolutionary hybrid design, multiple internal supplies power both analog and digital sections to minimize interference and noise and maximize channel separation. A beauty to behold, a breeze to operate The WANDLA HP internal design must speak for itself to impress music lovers and Ferrum users alike. We stuck to the supercharged visuals with the hi-res touchscreen display with a super easy user interface (UI). You'll find any setting with a mix of touch, turn, and press within seconds. Made for HYPSOS Of course, WANDLA HP plays beautifully right out of the box, using the power supply we carefully crafted to feed its unique electrical topology. But its musicality can be even higher when paired with our HYPSOS power system (sold separately). Using our proprietary FPL cable, HYPSOS can perform its magic deeper into WANDLA HP circuitry than any other power supply on the market today. And made to turn heads WANDLA HP essentially is WANDLA with a great sounding headphone amplifier. It will satisfy those who are seeking more than ERCO has to offer but are not ready for WANDLA in combination with OOR, being the super flagship option. Incorporating all great options and specifications from WANDLA, Ferrum's engineers integrated a powerful, and fully balanced headphone amplifier at the quality levels that come very close to those of OOR. 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, it's a guaranteed head-turner.
