The 2025 edition of High End Munich marks a significant moment for both the event and one of its standout exhibitors. As Europe’s premier audio trade fair closes a defining chapter in its Munich history, Polish high-fidelity brand Ferrum Audio celebrates its fifth anniversary—a milestone underscored by the unveiling of a major update to its acclaimed WANDLA series of digital-to-analog converters (DACs).
At the heart of Ferrum’s showcase this year is the WANDLA 2.0.0 firmware update, a leap forward in functionality and user experience that reflects the brand’s commitment to continuous innovation. With this release, Ferrum introduces its new Ferrum Streaming Control Technology (FSCT)—a proprietary platform that transforms the WANDLA family into a uniquely intuitive and versatile system.
A New Era for WANDLA DACs
The 2.0.0 update brings a suite of features previously unseen in this category. Through FSCT, users can now control their streamer directly with the WANDLA’s remote, while artist, track, and playback information is displayed in real time on the device’s touchscreen. This seamless integration enhances usability, whether paired with Ferrum’s headphone amplifier (WANDLA HP), active speakers, or a traditional stereo system.
The firmware upgrade is easily installed using the Ferrum Control App, available for both PC and Mac. True to Ferrum’s design philosophy, the user interface improvements are not just cosmetic—they offer a genuinely more natural and accessible experience, ensuring that advanced functions feel intuitive to operate. FSCT also allows compatibility across platforms, including macOS, Windows, and Volumio OS, without the need for additional configuration.
Designed for Every Listener
Whether you’re an audiophile using the WANDLA GoldenSound Edition or simply streaming from your living room setup, FSCT ensures a consistent, high-quality experience. The new visual display is optimized for readability from both up close and across the room, with refined typography and layout that prioritizes clarity and elegance.
The updated FSCT functionality will be demonstrated live at High End Munich 2025, taking place May 15–18. Ferrum Audio will offer hands-on sessions and in-depth presentations, providing attendees with an exclusive first look at what the next generation of digital audio control can deliver.
The WANDLA 2.0.0 firmware update will be available to all users free of charge shortly after the fair.
