Recension från Stereophil
Ferrum kallar denna enhet för ”converter” (omvandlare)
Enheten är helt balanserad och har många in- och utgångar.
Volymkontroll, både analog och digital
Wandla är en riktigt bra referensprodukt av mycket hög kvalité

”Wandla” kommer från tyska order ”wandler”, som betyder omvandlare, vilket det faktiskt är.
Digital Analog Omvandlare heter det ju på svenska.
Eller DAC som vi ofta använder som förkortning. Digital Analog Converter.
Det finns flera olika filter att välja mellan. Vid leverans är filtret som Ferrum´s team själva anser vara bäst, aktiverad.
Vår erfarenhet är att denna passar merparten av användare.
”The Wandla’s measured performance as a line preamplifier is beyond reproach.” – John Atkinson

Tomorrow’s High End Audio Today
As The Converter WANDLA leads the way for tomorrow’s high end offering flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price.
Finely tuned DA conversion
WANDLA is the latest exemplar of Ferrum’s digital know-how and our in-house-developed analogue audio and electrical technology. The ESS Sabre ES9038PRO combined with Ferrum’s advanced new current-to-voltage (I/V) converter compares to units many times its price.
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.
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.

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.
Proprietary amplification
Fully balanced modified IC pre-amplifier, fine tuned for WANDLA.
Ease of use
Newly developed hi-res touch screen with intuitive UX that is a dream to operate, including remote control.
The whole design is focussed on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue something of the past.
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.
