The Ferrum WANDLA is a flagship digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and preamplifier engineered around the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO chip paired with Ferrum's proprietary current-to-voltage (I/V) conversion stage. Driven by SERCE—a proprietary ARM-based digital audio system module—WANDLA simplifies the signal path, handles full MQA decoding, and introduces Dynamic Digital Filtering (DDF) featuring custom digital filters developed by Signalyst (creators of HQPlayer). Featuring a fully balanced analog circuit with balanced XLR and RCA inputs/outputs, a high-resolution touchscreen UI, and versatile audio-optimized inputs (USB, Coaxial, Optical, AES/EBU, HDMI ARC, and I2S), WANDLA delivers exceptional clarity and fatigue-free transparency. It can also be paired with the HYPSOS Hybrid Power System via the Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection with 4T sensing for maximum audio fidelity.

Ferrum Audio: Polish Passion for Detail, Craftsmanship, and Pure Sound
Ferrum Audio is a highly acclaimed Polish pioneer in headphone amplification and high-end power supply engineering. Established in early 2020 by its parent company HEM in the Warsaw region, the brand draws inspiration from its local heritage of iron metallurgy and fine craftsmanship. Originating from the very countryside where Frédéric Chopin was born, Ferrum shares the ambition of bringing true musical artistry to a global audience. The name itself stems from the Latin word for iron, symbolizing strength, endurance, and uncompromising engineering integrity.
Ferrum Audio fuses decades of research with local manufacturing under a clear mission: to deliver an authentic audiophile experience through compact, beautifully crafted components that offer extraordinary value. The brand redefined power delivery standards with its flagship hybrid power system, HYPSOS. This was followed by the fully balanced OOR headphone amplifier, which set a new benchmark for personal audio, and the ERCO DAC/headphone amplifier. Designed to drive any headphones to their full potential, Ferrum components deliver an exceptionally transparent soundstage, vast dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and profound detail that reveals the true soul of music. At Dream Audio, we are proud to present this innovative brand that seamlessly blends technical precision with musical emotion.
