.

FIRMWARE AND DIGITAL ENHANCEMENTS:

  • Completely reprogrammed with a new firmware structure, going beyond a typical firmware update.
  • Incorporates the code from Ferrum’s SERCE platform, bringing it closer to the performance of the flagship WANDLA DAC.
  • Supports PCM up to 768kHz/32-bit and DSD up to 512 (22.6/24.6MHz) like the WANDLA.
  • Includes the preferred WANDLA HQ Apodizing digital filter and bypasses ESS filters, including MQA for non-MQA signals.
  • Reduces intermodulation and intersample distortions compared to the original ERCO.

ANALOG CIRCUIT IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Upgraded current-to-voltage (I/V) converter stage based on insights from the WANDLA design.
  • Provides a more nuanced, natural, and engaging sound signature compared to the original.

OTHER ENHANCEMENTS:

  • Adjusted output levels to meet Redbook standard on line outputs and maximum power on headphone outputs.
  • Utilizes the same ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC chip as the original but with improved performance.
