Experience the next evolution in high-fidelity digital audio. The Ferrum WANDLA GoldenSound Edition is a flagship DAC/Preamp built around the acclaimed ESS Sabre ES9038PRO chip, now supercharged with advanced DSP processing through Ferrum's proprietary SERCE module. Co-developed with audio reviewer Cameron Oatley of GoldenSound, this edition takes everything that made the original WANDLA extraordinary — and pushes it decisively further.
Whether you're a headphone audiophile, a critical listener, or building a reference-grade speaker system, the WANDLA GoldenSound Edition delivers a deeply customisable, analytically precise, and emotionally engaging listening experience — all from a compact, beautifully engineered unit made in Warsaw, Poland.
Exclusive DSP Features
Spatial Enhancement — Expanded soundstage & imaging
Widens the perceived soundstage and sharpens instrument separation without the artefacts common to other approaches. Includes dedicated headphone and speaker modes.
Tube Mode — Warm, rich harmonic character
Intentionally introduces even-order harmonic distortion to emulate the warmth of a tube amplifier — without altering frequency response or adding unwanted coloration.
Impact+ — Enhanced bass & low-end punch
A precision two-band EQ that elevates bass with greater dynamic impact and tactile punch — ideal for those who want more weight and physicality in their music.
Why Choose the GoldenSound Edition?
- Three powerful DSP modes fully implemented in hardware via the SERCE module — zero compromise on audio quality
- Elevated digital headroom for superior immunity to intersample over distortion
- Ferrum's own Dynamic Digital Filtering retained for reference-grade precision
- Analogue volume control with bypass option for purist signal paths
- Voltage adjustment for compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers
- Upgrade path available — original WANDLA owners can convert to GoldenSound Edition
- Handcrafted in Warsaw, Poland by Ferrum / HEM — over 20 years of digital audio expertise
