Description

WANDLA HP builds on the acclaimed WANDLA DAC/PREAMP by integrating a powerful, fully balanced headphone amplifier capable of delivering 3.5 W into 50 Ω. This makes it ideal for music lovers who want a single, elegant unit that handles both headphone and speaker listening without compromising on performance.

At the heart of WANDLA HP is Ferrum’s proprietary SERCE digital audio system. This ARM‑based platform processes all incoming digital data streams and replaces five separate chips, creating the shortest possible signal path for USB, ARC, I2S, coaxial and optical inputs. Combined with the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC and Ferrum’s advanced current‑to‑voltage converter, the result is a level of transparency and musicality that rivals far more expensive systems.

Dynamic Digital Filtering, with filters specially prepared for WANDLA by Jussi Laako of HQ Player, gives users multiple high‑end filter options with more to come through future updates. The analogue stage benefits from Ferrum’s experience developing the acclaimed OOR amplifier, ensuring a balanced, fatigue‑free sound signature.

A newly developed high‑resolution touchscreen and intuitive interface make operation effortless. WANDLA HP includes six digital inputs, an unbalanced analogue input, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs, and dual DC power inputs. It performs beautifully with its included power supply, and reaches even higher levels when paired with Ferrum’s HYPSOS using the proprietary FPL connection.

Partly still thought-provoking, partly dated
Format: Paperback
Dr. Wittig had so much anger, and had such a fight to fight. She seems excessive at times, or as though she is painting with such a broad brush, but writing such as this did win some important battles. No, things are not as dark as her wrath would suggest, or at least not anymore.

You will laugh and cry
Format: Kindle
Luckily, I stumbled into a link to this book on Transfeminine Review. One warning: take your eye makeup off before reading. You will laugh till you cry and that is not a good look with mascara. The plot resembles the movie American Fiction. Pearl is an aspiring trans woman writer. Her first novel has sunk without a trace so now she is going to try something more commercial: a gay male romance with James Bond action marketed to straight women who love that kind of thing. She's even adopting a pen name as Paul Sisters, s gay man. For a time it works. She has a publisher, Muzzle And Escutcheon is selling well and "Paul" has a fan following. Still, it's getting harder and harder to maintain her fake identity and she's having to make ever more compromises with her own identity and relationships. One other caution. Pearl does have to deal with casual transphobia. One sequence of her doing an online chat as Paul with transphobic fans and trying not to let it get to her I foundto be particularly triggering Good, funny, recommended

Brilliantly written
Format: Kindle
I read this in a single sitting, mesmerized. I cared about the protagonist even as she made increasingly bad and soul damaging decisions. I love love love her girlfriend and her roommate is also fun. One could argue that the humorous elements convey the dangers of being a trans woman in both publishing and life especially well. I also enjoyed the publishing scene aspects like in Yellowface. A great read. I’m now a fan!
