Description
With BROEN we have created a truly unique streaming proposition following all of Ferrum’s core values. Like we did with HYPSOS, BROEN’s design starts at the very beginning of any digital transport, a sequence of zeros and ones and keeps it as clean as it possibly can. From beginning to end.
This meant going back to the digital drawing board and create a new digital heart for BROEN, called SERCE DDC. While keeping the in- and output domains perfectly separated and the audio outputs isolated, we also introduced an SFP socket to give our community the ultimate choice in digital connectivity, offering wireless as standard, plus electrical (RJ45 ethernet) and optical (SFP) options for communication with the home network. Supporting the most relevant streaming options, we also offer an internal SSD slot for physical storage of your music files. Last but not least BROEN is expandable with WANDLA to create the ultimate streaming DAC combo and upgradable with HYPSOS. WANDLA like a Formula 1 racing car. Like the F1 constructor’s team building the best racing car, Ferrum created the best engine for The Converter.
Made for Streaming
BROEN is Powered by Volumio. This means you get full access to the Volumio streaming ecosystem, loved by more than half a million users, with Spotify & Spotify Connect, TIDAL & TIDAL Connect, Qobuz & Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, UPnP/DLNA renderer, web radios, CD playback, multi-room playback, AI-powered SuperSearch, Infinity Playback, and extended album/artist metadata.
Made for WANDLA
While you can control BROEN perfectly from your smartphone, tablet and computer, BROEN seamlessly integrates with WANDLA using our FSCT. Artist and title information will be displayed on WANDLA’s screen and can be controlled with a finger’s touch on WANDLA’s screen or remote.
Made for HYPSOS
BROEN performs beautifully right out of the box, but you can take its performance above and beyond when pairing it with HYPSOS. Using the proprietary Ferrum Power Link (FPL) connection with 4TSD voltage sensing, both components will perform to their absolute maximum, unleashing unheard-of musicality.
Made for the Future
With BROEN you get over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, and a plugin capable platform. Apart from including an internal SSD slot, we’ve added an SFP slot where you have the option of using a standard SFP ethernet module or an SFP optical module to connect to an SFP switch keeping noise to an absolute minimum when connecting to the outside world. These features will keep BROEN up to date and future proof for many more years to come.BROEN network streaming transport:
