Prepare to be converted by the real thing. The Ferrum WANDLA is a flagship DAC/Preamp engineered from a blank page with one goal: to push the boundaries of what high-end digital audio can be — at a price that doesn't demand a second mortgage. Drawing inspiration from Formula 1 racing, where every detail matters and perfection is the only option, WANDLA embodies hundreds of innovations, large and small, to deliver a rich, detailed, and transparent sound with an incredibly low noise floor.

WANDLA is tomorrow's high-end audio, available today.

Under the Hood — SERCE

At WANDLA's heart lies SERCE, Ferrum's proprietary ARM-based platform. Running Ferrum's own software, SERCE singlehandedly performs the tasks of five chips, creating the shortest possible signal path for audio-optimised USB, ARC, I2S, Coaxial S/PDIF, and Optical S/PDIF ports. Behind the conversion stage, Ferrum's engineering team implemented an advanced current-to-voltage (I/V) converter and an output stage informed by their experience developing the acclaimed OOR and ERCO. Multiple internal power supplies — based on HYPSOS' revolutionary hybrid design — power both analogue and digital sections to minimise interference, reduce noise, and maximise channel separation.

Key Features

Finely tuned DA conversion
The ESS Sabre ES9038PRO combined with Ferrum's advanced current-to-voltage converter delivers performance that compares to units many times its price.

Dynamic Digital Filtering (DDF)
A world first — WANDLA ships with three ESS digital filters plus two exclusive filters created by renowned filter-maker HQ Player, developed specifically for Ferrum. More filters are unlocked over time through community interaction, making WANDLA an evolving, user-driven platform.

MQA Decoder & Renderer
Full MQA decoding and rendering on all digital inputs for Master Quality Authenticated playback.

It's also a preamp
WANDLA doubles as a premium preamplifier with a full-function IR remote. Two digitally controlled attenuators offer selectable analogue or digital volume control. Six digital inputs (USB-C, Coaxial, Optical, AES, ARC, I2S) plus one analogue RCA input — which bypasses all digital processing — ensure compatibility with the widest range of sources.

Truly balanced topology
The signal path remains truly balanced via XLR inputs and becomes truly balanced via RCA inputs, with both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs provided.

Hi-res touchscreen display
A newly developed high-resolution touchscreen with an intuitive interface lets you find any setting in seconds via a mix of touch, turn, and press. When operated via remote, the display automatically switches to distance mode for easy reading from across the room.

Made for HYPSOS
WANDLA performs beautifully straight out of the box with its included power supply. Pair it with Ferrum's HYPSOS via the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) cable and 4T voltage sensing, and both components perform to their absolute maximum — unleashing musicality that has to be heard to be believed.

A Multi-faceted, beautiful book for babies through primary grades.
Format: Hardcover
Our second generation is now loving this beautiful, clever, playful book. Although there are no words, the story line is a delight. A watercolored village develops one page to the next starting with 0 and ending with 12. The pictures add one item in each category for each new number, building on the previous scene. Readers can find and count buildings, children, adults, pine trees, cherry trees, and an assortment of animals. In addition, in a lovely subtle manner, the four northern hemisphere seasons pass from January to December. The details of adult and child activities through time and seasons can be noted. Anno's creativity in this genre is unsurpassed. For my children, and now for my grandson, this book evokes fascination on several levels both aesthetic and intellectual. Start using it as a baby word book, and it will last as a joy throughout early childhood. Not every baby book must be a board book. Teaching children to turn pages gently is easy to do and adds to the amazing, shared experience.

Gorgeous book!
Format: Hardcover
Read this over and over with my own children and they loved it. Buying for friends' children/grandchildren and they are loving it, too. Timeless, lots to capture kids' interest and counting. The suggested age is 3 and up, but we used it earlier than 3 years of age; it depends on the child. We're buying them now for newborns figuring they'll "grow into it."

A truly original concept picture book. Unlike most counting ...
Format: Hardcover
A truly original concept picture book. Unlike most counting concept books that only show one item type (like 2 balls on the page about 2) this book has many items to count on each number page (3 trees, 3 trains, 3 cows, etc, on the pages about the number 3). You have to search around to find each of the items because the author moves the items around each time. :) Yes, it's not as flashy, but it's got what really counts!

Excellent early math book
Format: Paperback
I found this book on a recommended Early Math reading list posted on the PBS Parents website. Since there are no words in this book, there is nothing to actually read to your child. But it is likely one of the longest 12 page books I've read. And it is by far the most significant number book my 3 year old has read. Anno uses a town to depict and define numbers 0-12, the seasons, and the months of the year. The seasons and months are recognizeable, but not the focus like the numbers are. For the number 0, you see a blank landscape with a small river. When the child turns the page, he sees a large number 1 on the right side of the book and in the landscape one lone building, one tree, one sun, one snowman.... There is also a set of blocks on the left side of the book, with one block colored in. Thus, the child can see the number 1 represented as a numeral, as a block (of a set of 10), and as an object (one building, one tree, one person). As you turn the pages and the numbers increase, a village forms. The final page is the number 12 -- a full village at Christmas time, complete with 12 reindeer in the sky. As a parent, I enjoy having my daughter "read" to me. But I am most amazed by how the book has helped her to grasp the concept of numbers. As she explained, "0, Mommy. Because there's nothing there."

Great way to remove dry skin while not being abrasive
Style: Bath & Body
One side of the scrubber is a softer cloth, the other is a more abrasive cloth. There is a sponge divider between the two. This is great to use during the dry days of winter when my skin becomes dryer and more scaly. The soft side is for my face, of course. The ribbon band across the back lets me slide my hand in and get a bit more leverage and to hold on to the scrubber. Much kinder to my skin than a loofah. I wash the Scrubber with the towels so it is always clean.
