What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- The brand's product line is designed for seamless integration, both aesthetically and functionally, allowing for a unified "stack" of components (DAC, headphone amp, power supply).
- They have partnered with the creator of HQPlayer, Jussi Laako of Signalyst, to develop unique and customizable digital filters for their DACs, going beyond standard filter offerings.
- Their components feature balanced engineering throughout, prioritizing balanced signal paths and offering both balanced and single-ended connectivity options.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "Luckily, the WANDLA is an incredibly impressive DAC in terms of sound quality and it seems that the work done on various aspects such as the IV stage, custom filters, and power delivery have paid off. The WANDLA is significantly more natural in presentation than any other ESS DAC I have heard without sacrificing anything in terms of sheer technical performance. And this is comparing like for like with the stock ESS linear phase filter." (https://headphones.com/blogs/reviews/big-performance-in-a-small-package-ferrum-wandla-review-measurements)
- "WANDLA sounded fantastic even with a Topping A70 PRO with a pair of Hifiman Susvara sitting on my head, never longing for the OOR or for any other fully-discrete amplifier. The party started when I added the OOR and HYPSOS into the mix, my wife could hear my laughing from a mile away when the music started playing, as I don't remember getting so much fun out of solid-state electronics." (https://soundnews.net/reviews/sources/dacs/ferrum-audio-wandla-dac-review-thinking-outside-the-box)
- "Compared to a regular ESS-Sabre DAC, WANDLA is linking the left and right sound bubbles, putting more music in the center and adding more layering to it. My blues and jazz tunes start having a new meaning with WANDLA and I'm no longer pressed to use my stereo setup for a goose-bump fiesta." (https://soundnews.net/reviews/sources/dacs/ferrum-audio-wandla-dac-review-thinking-outside-the-box)
- "The unit offers a beautifully deep soundstage with accurate instrument staging. There's a distinctly three-dimensional feel, with a sense of having multiple distinct layers." (https://stereonet.com/reviews/ferrum-audio-wandla-goldensound-edition-dac-review)
