WANDLA represents tomorrow’s standard of high end digital-to-analog conversion. Think of WANDLA like a Formula 1 racing car. Like the F1 constructor’s team building the best racing car, Ferrum created the best engine for The Converter. WANDLA offers flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWANDLA fully balanced DAC\/PREAMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary IC power amp design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary optimised-for-audio digital inputs (USB-C, Optical and Coaxial S\/PDIF, ARC, I2S, AES\/EBU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary optimised MQA® rendering and decoding for ARM chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary HQ Player filters (eight in total, three accessible at launch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary 4-pin Ferrum connector for HYPSOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital and Analogue volume control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEES Sabre ES9038PRO with seven filter setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile WANDLA performs very good right out of the box it is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWANDLA comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter.
