Ferrum Wandla GoldenSound Edition

WANDLA GoldenSound Edition represents the next step in digital audio innovation. The Ferrum team explored the full potential of WANDLA’s powerful DSP capabilities, introducing a range of enhancements that elevate the listening experience. With features like elevated digital headroom, spatial enhancement, tube mode, and Impact+, this edition ensures that DSP is done the right way.

Key features

• Elevated digital headroom: Reduces intersample overs and prevents unwanted distortion, ensuring cleaner sound at all levels.
• Tube mode: Introduces even-order harmonic distortion similar to tube amplifiers, delivering a warmer and richer sound.
• Spatial enhancement: Expands the soundstage with improved instrument separation, available in both headphone and speaker modes.
• Impact+: Enhances low-end response with a custom two-band EQ for deeper, more dynamic bass.
• New voltage adjustment: Hardware-level output voltage control allows users to switch between < 10 Vrms and < 4 Vrms without affecting the signal path.

Advanced digital filtering

The GoldenSound Edition introduces Dynamic Digital Filtering (DDF), featuring:

• Three standard ESS digital filters.
• Two custom-designed digital filters by HQPlayer’s Signalyst, created exclusively for Ferrum.
• Future updates with new filters based on user feedback.

Optimized digital inputs & proprietary amplification

The GoldenSound Edition maintains WANDLA’s exceptional connectivity with:

• Specially programmed USB, S/PDIF, AES, ARC (TV), and I²S inputs for optimal audio performance.
• A fully balanced, modified IC pre-amplifier, fine-tuned for superior sonic clarity.

Designed for HYPSOS

WANDLA GoldenSound Edition performs exceptionally on its own, but pairing it with HYPSOS unlocks even greater potential. The proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) with 4TSD voltage sensing maximizes performance, delivering unparalleled musicality.

Innovative SERCE module

At the heart of WANDLA GoldenSound Edition is the SERCE digital audio system module, which:

• Uses an optimized ARM chip to streamline processing.
• Reduces unnecessary components for a cleaner signal path.
• Provides an MQA decoder/renderer and digital filter selection.

Precision power delivery

The unique Ferrum Power Link (FPL) cable ensures:

• Stable voltage with separate wires for power delivery and feedback.
• Elimination of cable resistance effects for improved transient response.
• Enhanced current delivery speed for peak audio performance.

Conclusions

With its refined DSP implementation and cutting-edge enhancements, the WANDLA GoldenSound Edition sets a new standard for digital audio processing. Whether you’re an audiophile seeking pristine sound quality or a music lover looking for warmth and depth, this edition provides an unparalleled listening experience.
