The Ferrum WANDLA HP brings the musical refinement and digital performance of WANDLA together with a powerful, fully balanced headphone amplifier in one elegant component. Positioned between ERCO and a full WANDLA–OOR stack, it offers a compelling step up for serious headphone listeners seeking flagship sound without added boxes. With exceptional drive, transparency and flexibility, WANDLA HP delivers an immersive, fatigue-free listening experience, and reaches even greater heights when partnered with the HYPSOS hybrid power system.

WANDLA HP

Ferrum introduces the latest family member of WANDLA, WANDLA HP. 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.
