Ferrum’s journey up the hifi chain brought them HYPSOS, their revolutionary hybrid power system, OOR, their flagship headphone amplifier, ERCO, their entry level DAC and WANDLA, their flagship DAC. What these products have in common is their upgradeability with HYPSOS. WANDLA HP resides comfortably in the space between entry and super flagship level for headphone enthusiasts.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.Unique output cable design: two wires delivering the power and two wires providing the feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. 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.WANDLA HP comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of WANDLA HP you can connect it with HYPSOS using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.Fully Balanced HP amplifierWANDLA HP offers a fully balanced, composite IC headphone amplifier design, fine tuned for WANDLA HP. PowerfulWANDLA HP’s headphone amplifier can output a hefty 3.5 Watts at 50 Ω (balanced). DynamicWANDLA HP’s headphone amplifier has an impressive dynamic range of 122 dB. Tomorrow's High-End Audio TodayWANDLA HP leads the way for tomorrow's high-end, offering flagship audio quality at an unprecedented price level. Finely tuned DA conversionWANDLA HP is the latest exemple of Ferrum's digital know-how and our in-house-developed analogue audio and electrical technology. The ESS Sabre ES9038PRO combined with Ferrum's advanced new current-to-voltage (I/V) converter compares to units many times its price. SERCEDigital audio system module - Our optimized ARM chip offers the shortest signal path possible, making 5 chips redundant. Includes MQA decoder/renderer and digital filter selection. Dynamic Digital FilteringWANDLA HP has a selection of digital filters specially prepared for Ferrum by renowned filter-maker HQ Player. More will follow with future updates after interaction with WANDLA users Optimized Digital inputsSpecially programmed USB, and tuned coaxial and optical S/PDIF, AES, ARC (TV) and I2S ports, optimized for audio.Proprietary amplificationFully balanced modified IC pre-amplifier, fine-tuned for WANDLA HP. Truly BalancedWhole signal path is truly balanced inside WANDLA HP. Even when using RCA inputs, the signal is converted to balanced on the input first active stage. Ease of useNewly developed hi-res touch screen with intuitive UX that is a dream to operate, including remote control. Enhanced transparencyThe whole design is focused on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue a thing of the past. Made for HYPSOSWANDLA HP performs beautifully right out of the box, but you can take its performance above and beyond when pairing it with HYPSOS. Using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection with 4T voltage sensing, both components will perform to their absolute maximum, unleashing unheard-of musicality.FEATURESWANDLA HP DAC/PREAMP with Headphone AMPLIFIERFully 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 redundantFour proprietary Signalyst filtersProprietary 4-pin Ferrum connector for HYPSOSBalanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line outputsDigital and Analogue volume controlEES Sabre ES9038PRO with selected filterRemote control includedSPECIFICATIONSHeadphone SectionTHD balanced:0.00016 % / -116 dB, 10 mW into 50 Ω; 0.00020 % / -114 dB, 100 mW into 50 Ω THD unbalanced:0.00022 % / -113 dB, 10 mW into 50 Ω; 0.00022 % / -113 dB, 100 mW into 50 Ω Output Power Single Ended: 1 W into 50 Ω Output Power Balanced: 3.5 W into 50 ΩDynamic Range: 122 dB HP Output impedance: 0.5 Ω unbalanced HP Output impedance: 1 Ω balanced OtherOperation: Fully balanced, proprietary IC power amp DAC chip: ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC resolution: 768 kHz / 32 bit, DSD 512 Digital inputs:AES/EBU (up to 192 kHz / 24 bit, DoP 64)Optical S/PDIF (up to 96 kHz / 24 bit)Coaxial S/PDIF (up to 192 kHz / 24 bit, DoP 64)USB-C (up to 768 kHz / 32 bit, DSD 512, DoP 256)ARC (up to 192 kHz / 24 bit), TV input with CECI2S (up to 768 kHz / 32bit, DSD 512, DoP 256), PS Audio® compatible MQA: decoder and renderer (on all digital inputs) Analog inputs: RCA Analog input Vmax: 9.5 V RMS (2 – 3.5 V RMS recommended) Analogue input imp: 47 kΩ Line outputs: balanced XLR; unbalanced RCA Volume control: analogue with bypass option / digital for DAC operation only Line Output level: @0 dBFS, 1 kHz sine 10 V RMS balanced, 5 V RMS unbalanced Line Output level (RED): @0 dBFS, 1 kHz sine 4 V RMS balanced, 2 V RMS unbalanced Frequency response on analog inputs: 10 Hz – 200 kHz +/- 0.1 dB DAC THD: -121 dB (0,00009 %); THD+N: -115 dB (unweighted) Analog input THD: -123 dB @ 2 V RMS output level Dyn. range analog: 127 dB (A-weighted) Dyn. range digital: 122 dB (A-weighted) DAC Output Crosstalk: -120 dB for 1 kHz, better than -100 dB for 20 Hz – 20 kHz Line Output impedance: 22 Ω unbalanced Line Output impedance: 44 Ω balanced Power consumption:13 W idle (with amp powered off)18 W idle (with amp powered on)35 W maxPower inputs: 5.5/2.5 mm DC connector center positive proprietary FPL 4-pin DC connector (FPL) 22-30 VDC Power adapter: 100-240 VAC to 24 VDCDimensions: 21.7 x 20.6 x 5 cm / 8.6″ x 8.1″ x 2.0″(WxDxH) Remote control: included Weight: 1.90 kg / 4.19 lb
