Ferrum Wandla GoldenSound Edition Gen 2

The Ferrum WANDLA GoldenSound Edition Gen 2 is a reference-class DAC and preamplifier designed to push digital playback beyond technical precision into true musical expression. Building on the acclaimed original, this latest generation refines key features while introducing greater flexibility and control. As a result, it delivers a sound that is more dynamic, more immersive, and more tailored to your personal listening preferences.

Refined performance, reimagined features

The GoldenSound Edition Gen 2 enhances three core features—Impact+, Tube Mode, and Spatial Enhancement—each now fully redesigned and optimized with Ferrum’s Sweet Spot Tuning. These improvements allow finer control over tonal balance, harmonic character, and spatial presentation. Therefore, listeners can shape the sound with greater precision while maintaining natural musicality.

Impact+ with expanded control

Impact+ now offers seven carefully tuned presets that shape bass response and dynamics. In addition, users can adjust the intensity from 10% to 130%, allowing subtle refinement or a more pronounced low-end presence. Consequently, the system adapts easily to different music styles and system setups.

Tube Mode with selectable character

Tube Mode introduces a new level of flexibility by offering five classic tube profiles, including EL34, KT88, 300B, 2A3, and 7062. Each profile recreates the tonal warmth and harmonic richness associated with these designs. Moreover, the effect level can be adjusted from 10% to 200%, giving full control over how much character you wish to add.

Spatial Enhancement for immersive sound

The updated Spatial Enhancement feature improves depth and imaging with greater precision. Users can toggle the effect independently, select output modes for headphones or speakers, and engage transient compensation. As a result, the soundstage becomes more defined, with improved placement and separation of instruments.

Enhanced digital performance

The Gen 2 platform introduces improved digital headroom, reducing distortion caused by intersample peaks even at full output. In addition, dynamic digital filtering includes ESS filters alongside custom Signalyst-designed options, allowing further fine-tuning of the sound. Therefore, playback remains clean, detailed, and highly adaptable.

Precision output and connectivity

A new hardware-level output voltage adjustment allows switching between high and low output levels, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers without relying on digital attenuation. At the same time, optimized digital inputs—including USB, AES, S/PDIF, ARC, and I2S—ensure stable and accurate signal transmission across all sources.

Engineered for system synergy

The WANDLA GoldenSound Edition Gen 2 integrates seamlessly with Ferrum’s HYPSOS power supply via the proprietary Ferrum Power Link. This connection enables real-time voltage sensing, maximizing performance and stability. Internally, the proprietary SERCE module and fully balanced analog stage ensure a short signal path and refined amplification.
