Representing a major firmware update to the award-winning WANDLA DAC, WANDLA 2.0 implements Ferrum Streaming Control Technology (FSCT) - a series of innovations developed during the design of Ferrum upcoming streamer.Any Wandla, including GoldenSound Edition and Wandla HP, may be updated to 2.0 for free!
Updates to the Original
WANDLA 2.0 now controls playback and displays real-time track data. Volume control, playback and transport of your source can now be controlled with WANDLA 2.0's touchscreen or remote and "Now playing" metadata and progress bar are displayed on the screen. Built on standard USB Audio Class protocols, WANDLA 2.0 works with ANY compliant brand of computer or streamer
Ferrum Streaming Control Technology (FSCT) Makes Its Debut
FSCT currently works with Windows and macOS computers as well as Volumio-based streamers, with broader compatibility planned. The FSCT host software is open-source and available on GitHub for any streamer or DAC manufacturer to adopt.
