High-Performance Headphone Amplification

The Wandla HP introduces an integrated balanced headphone amplifier capable of delivering up to 3.5 watts into 50 ohms, ensuring powerful performance even for the most demanding headphones. With a dynamic range of 122 dB, the amplifier reveals intricate details across the entire frequency spectrum, from the deepest lows to sparkling highs.

For single-ended users, Ferrum includes a high-quality 4.4mm to 6.35mm adapter, ensuring compatibility without compromising sound quality. Its smart, minimalist front-panel design keeps the 4.4mm Pentaconn headphone output as the only visible connection, delivering both simplicity and elegance.

Advanced Digital Filtering with Signalyst Collaboration

Ferrum has partnered with Signalyst, renowned for their HQPlayer software, to bring exclusive Dynamic Digital Filtering (DDF) options to the Wandla HP. These filters, designed specifically for the unit, provide users with precise control over their sound signature, making it possible to fine-tune playback to their exact preferences.

As Ferrum continues to engage with the audio community, additional filters will be made available, ensuring the Wandla HP evolves alongside user needs. This level of customization sets a new standard for DACs and preamps, offering a truly interactive listening experience.

Balanced Design for Pristine Sound

The Wandla HP employs a fully balanced composite IC headphone amplifier design, ensuring signal integrity and minimizing distortion. Its ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC chip, paired with Ferrum's advanced current-to-voltage conversion, delivers high-resolution audio with stunning clarity and precision.

Equipped with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs, the Wandla HP accommodates any high-fidelity audio setup. The analog input bypasses digital processing, maintaining the purity of high-quality analog sources for true audiophile-grade performance.

Ergonomic and Intuitive User Interface

The Wandla HP features a high-resolution touchscreen display with an intuitive user interface that combines touch, turn, and press functionalities for effortless operation. The sleek design ensures quick access to settings, making it a breeze to customize your audio experience.

Its modern aesthetic, highlighted by Ferrum's signature minimalist design, ensures that the Wandla HP is as visually appealing as it is functional. Whether on your desk or part of your home audio setup, the Wandla HP is a statement piece that complements any environment.

Enhanced Performance with HYPSOS Integration

While the Wandla HP includes a high-quality power supply, its performance can be further elevated when paired with Ferrum's HYPSOS power system (sold separately).

This seamless pairing ensures that the Wandla HP can adapt and grow with your audio system over time.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Julian ★★★★★

Plugging my HD800s into this single box transformed my desktop setup—no more separate stack. The headphone output drives them effortlessly, and the DAC section is dead quiet even with sensitive IEMs.

Abigail H. ★★★★★

The balanced DAC section really opened up my IEMs with a blacker background than I've heard before. It drives my planar headphones effortlessly, and the build quality feels like it will last decades.

Penelope D. ★★★★★

Didn't expect the headphone amp section to keep up with my planar cans this easily — the balanced output drives them with plenty of headroom even on quieter tracks. Having the DAC and preamp in one box finally cleared the cable mess off my desk.
