Ferrum Audio, a high-end Hi-Fi manufacturer from Poland, has launched its range of digital-to-analogue converters, headphone amplifiers and power systems in the UK, bringing a new integrated audio ecosystem to British music fans in search of premium personal and lifestyle sound.
The company, operating out of Warsaw, is positioning itself in the increasingly crowded ‘high-end but sensible’ space, delivering audiophile performance without theatrical pricing or intimidating complexity.
What sets Ferrum apart is its system thinking. These aren’t components designed to be endlessly mixed and matched with other brands. Instead, they’re conceived as a coherent, scalable ecosystem – lifestyle audio products that bring out the best in each other, with modular system building. Modular and upgradable.
I had an early listen to the range at a product showcase in Bristol, on the eve of the recent Bristol Hi-Fi show, and was impressed by their clean, modern industrial design, beautifully finished metalwork, and a sonic performance that appeared to leave little to chance.

The system, not the parts
At the heart of the Ferrum range sits WANDLA, a high‑performance DAC and preamplifier, available in standard and special editions. Known simply as The Converter, it’s built around the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC chip, paired with a proprietary current-to-voltage conversion stage and Ferrum’s own ARM-based SERCE digital module. The platform handles everything from CD-quality streaming to ultra-high-resolution PCM and DSD.
Priced at £2,795, the unit features a high-resolution touchscreen interface, analogue volume control, and a sophisticated digital filtering system that allows users to tailor its sonic character. I felt it met its brief of being transparent and fatigue-free. Paired with Ferrum’s HYPSOS hybrid power supply, via the proprietary Ferrum Power Link, it’s the core component in a tightly integrated digital system.
For those wanting a single-box solution, WANDLA HP builds directly on this platform, integrating a powerful, fully balanced headphone amplifier into the same chassis, at an all up cost of £3,295. It delivers up to 3.5 W into 50 ohms via balanced output, bringing much of the authority of Ferrum’s flagship headphone amplifier into a compact, all-in-one design. A great sonic option for many.
That said, the purist’s choice remains OOR, Ferrum’s fully balanced headphone amplifier. It sells for £1,995.
At the more accessible end of the Ferrum family there’s the £1,795 ERCO Gen 2, a balanced DAC and headphone amplifier. Supporting PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD512, with balanced headphone outputs and Ferrum’s preferred digital filtering.
Underpinning everything is HYPSOS, a £1,195 hybrid linear/switching power supply fast become something of a cult product in audio circles, as it combines low noise with fast transient response and wide compatibility.
The new HYPSOS Dual Output, selling for £1,395, elevates the concept further, allowing two compatible devices to be powered simultaneously from a single unit, reducing clutter, improving system coherence, and reinforcing Ferrum’s one system, one design language philosophy.
What will tomorrow’s technology look like? If LG Display has its way, it’ll be wearing an OLED face. At K-Display 2026 in Seoul, the Korean display specialist is looking well beyond televisions and smartphones, unveiling a series of OLED innovations that hint at how screens will become woven into everyday life, from humanoid robots and…
Luxury German electronics brand Loewe has unveiled the Antares OLED, a premium smart TV designed to make the screen as much a part of a home’s interior design as its entertainment system. The new line arrives with a modular design that allows owners to tailor its appearance to suit their tastes. Rather than offering a…
Marantz has refreshed its entry-level Hi-Fi range with the launch of the Model 70 integrated amplifier and CD 70 player, successors to the award-winning PM6007 and CD6007. The new components combine the brand’s familiar warm, detailed sound with contemporary connectivity, and adopt Marantz’s latest design language – which to be honest, is gorgeous – with…
