Ferrum Audio WANDLA HP DAC/Pre-Amplifier
Ferrum introduces WANDLA HP, the latest addition to the WANDLA family. Designed for discerning headphone enthusiasts, WANDLA HP bridges the gap between entry-level and super flagship setups. It features the same advanced DAC technology as WANDLA but integrates a powerful, fully balanced composite IC headphone amplifier that delivers performance close to Ferrum’s flagship OOR. Engineered for exceptional sound clarity, WANDLA HP boasts a fully balanced signal path, minimizing distortion and ensuring a dynamic range of 122 dB. It supports multiple digital inputs, including USB, S/PDIF, AES, ARC (TV), and I2S, optimized for audio performance. The Ferrum Power Link (FPL) technology ensures a stable power supply, enhancing transient response and overall sound quality. Out of the box, WANDLA HP comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter, but to unlock its full potential, it can be upgraded with HYPSOS via a proprietary 4-pin Ferrum connector.

About Ferrum Audio
Ferrum Audio, a company firmly rooted in the Warsaw region of Poland, combines craftsmanship and audio to create exceptional audiophile-grade audio electronics. The name "Ferrum" derives from the Latin word for iron, reflecting the area's rich history of metallurgy and craftsmanship. Inspired by the region's heritage, nature, and local industry, Ferrum Audio is dedicated to showcasing its locally designed and manufactured products to the world.
The Ferrum team draws inspiration from the region's legacy of craftsmanship, including the renowned composer and pianist Frederic Chopin, born just kilometres from the company headquarters. The strong work ethic and dedication to excellence that characterises the region are deeply ingrained in Ferrum's ethos. Like iron, their products are built to be enduring and remarkable.
The connection to iron goes beyond symbolism for Ferrum Audio. The CEO, Marcin Hamerla, hails from a family of blacksmiths, and his nickname, "the Hammer" and the parent company's name, HEME, which refers to an iron compound, further emphasise the ties to the ironworking tradition. With years of experience and knowledge, Ferrum Audio has crafted a range of locally made audiophile-grade audio electronics, culminating in a product lineup poised to make its mark on the global stage.
Ferrum Audio is driven by a passion for excellence, a dedication to craftsmanship, and a desire to conquer the world with its outstanding audio products. With its strong heritage and commitment to quality, Ferrum Audio is set to redefine the boundaries of audio excellence.
About Ferrum
Polish maker of DACs, headphone amplifiers and linear power supplies, designed and built in Warsaw.
Ferrum Audio is based in Warsaw, Poland, where its parent company designs and manufactures its products in-house. The range is built around the Wandla DAC and pre-amplifier, the OOR headphone amplifier and the Hypsos power supply, along with the power cables and splitter that connect them. You can build a compact system from these parts.

The Wandla is a DAC and pre-amplifier
The Wandla combines a DAC with a pre-amplifier, so it can take digital sources and feed an amplifier or powered speakers directly. It is the centre of the range, and the other products are designed to work around it. Check the product page for its inputs and outputs.
The OOR is a fully analogue headphone amplifier
The OOR is a balanced headphone amplifier. Ferrum describes it as fully analogue, with a discrete output stage. If you want to listen on headphones with a high-quality source, it can be paired with the Wandla or another DAC. Check the product page for the connections and power requirements.
The Hypsos power supply works with its cables
The Hypsos is a hybrid linear and switching power supply that outputs 5 to 30V at up to 6A. Ferrum also sells the Power Link and DC JACK power cables and a Power Splitter, so one supply can feed several Ferrum products.
