Ferrum Wandla HP Headphone Amplifier DAC ES9038PRO Balanced I2S HDMI ARC 32bit 768kHz DSD256 MQA
The Ferrum Wandla HP combines the famous Wandla DAC with a high-performance headphone amplifier. The latter incorporates the advantages of the Wandla DAC, such as an ESS ES9038PRO DAC chip and balanced architecture, enabling it to support high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz, DSD256 and MQA. On the headphone amplifier side, we find an IC amplifier with the brand's proprietary balanced architecture, offering a good reserve of output power and a dynamic range extended to 122dB. Overall, the Wandla HP's connectivity interface is quite rich, incorporating numerous digital inputs such as USB-C, HDMI ARC, I2S HDMI, SPDIF coaxial, Toslink optical, AES and an analog RCA input. It also has a single-ended RCA and balanced XLR analog outputs, plus a balanced Jack 4.4mm headphone output. To top it all off, a beautiful color touchscreen displays information on current playback, as well as navigating the device's parameters.

Ferrum Wandla HP: the ultimate sound experience
This DAC headphone amplifier will delight even the most demanding audiophile thanks to its high-quality components. The ES9038PRO DAC chip, ARM processor, headphone amplifier and IC preamplifier optimize signal processing for a powerful, natural sound.
Ferrum Wandla HP : Ferrum Power Link (FPL)
Unique FPL power socket design: two wires providing power and two wires providing feedback to ensure a flat voltage at all times. This eliminates the adverse effects of cable resistance by effectively improving transient response. The speed of current delivery to the input of the powered device is considerably improved.
Ferrum Wandla HP: Designed for Hypsos
The Wandla HP is supplied with a carefully selected DC power adapter. However, to get the most out of the Wandla HP, you can connect it to HYPSOS using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable (not included).
Ferrum Wandla HP overview
The Ferrum Wandla HP has a balanced Jack 4.4mm headphone output. However, an adapter (supplied) allows you to use a Jack 6.35mm.
