Description
The new Ferrum Audio 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 composite IC 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, and it’s a guaranteed head turner.
Features:
- Fully Balanced - WANDLA HP offers a fully balanced, composite IC headphone amplifier design, fine tuned for WANDLA.
- Powerful - WANDLA HP’s headphone amplifier can output a hefty 3.5 Watts at 50 Ω (balanced).
- Dynamic - WANDLA HP’ headphone amplifier has an impressive dynamic range of 122 dB.
- Proprietary optimized ARM chip offers the shortest signal path possible, making 5 chips redundant
- Four proprietary Signalyst filters
- Proprietary 4-pin Ferrum connector for HYPSOS
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line outputs
- Digital and Analogue volume control
- EES Sabre ES9038PRO with selected filter
- Remote control included

Let customers speak for us
from 131 reviewsVery Well done.
Fast shipment and professional service from Nick.
Awesome experience. Quick responses to Q’s and good selection of products. Would definitely recommend.
This thing is amazing. Nice sound stage, good details but not fatiguing and very neutral in its presentation. Presently pairing it with the Aegis headphone amplifier (tube) & Senn headphones and this combo is super solid with the Z10. Lots of really nice features in the Z10, from filters to allowing use of external master clocks. You really can’t go wrong.
Courteous and knowledgeable staff who love what they do. How can you go wrong. Best service I have experienced in years...
Best sounding wireless headphones I ever heard, such presence, such depth. Built quality is superb. Style is unique.
And the most professional and courteous service of all from the experts at Noteworthy Audio... All in all, a wonderful experience.
