Ferrum Audio ERCO Gen 2 plus HYPSOS inc. DC POWER LINK Cable

Ferrum ERCO Gen 2 Headphone Amp/DAC With HYPSOS Power Supply

Overview

The Ferrum Audio ERCO Gen 2 System combines three exceptional components that work in perfect harmony. Bringing together the ERCO Gen 2 Headphone DAC/Amp, the HYPSOS Hybrid Power Supply, and the Ferrum Power Link (FPL) Cable, this system delivers precision, control, and natural musicality. Built in Poland, it reflects Ferrum Audio’s dedication to pure, transparent, and fatigue-free sound.

At the heart of the system, the ERCO Gen 2 serves as a powerful and refined headphone DAC and amplifier. It features a high-performance ESS Sabre PRO DAC and a fully balanced analogue design that ensures accurate, detailed, and emotionally engaging sound reproduction. Supporting PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD512, it presents music with natural timing, texture, and depth.

The ERCO Gen 2 DAC/Amp provides both balanced 4.4 mm Pentaconn and 6.35 mm headphone outputs, plus balanced XLR and RCA line outputs for preamp or powered speaker integration. Its sound signature is open, neutral, and transparent — ideal for both professional reference use and immersive everyday listening.

Supplying power is the Ferrum HYPSOS Hybrid Power Supply, a unique combination of linear and switch-mode design. HYPSOS provides ultra-stable, low-noise voltage across a 5 V – 30 V DC range, ensuring clean, dynamic, and precise energy delivery to the ERCO Gen 2. Its hybrid architecture balances speed, control, and tonal smoothness, creating a deeply musical foundation for your system.

HYPSOS also features Ferrum’s 4-Terminal Sensing Design (4TSD), which compensates for voltage loss along the power cable for absolute accuracy. The Sweet Spot Tuning (SST) function lets users fine-tune output voltage to achieve optimal system performance. Together, these technologies deliver the transparency, quiet background, and dynamic integrity that define Ferrum Audio.

Connecting the two components is the Ferrum Power Link (FPL) Cable, a precision-built link designed specifically for the Ferrum ecosystem. Using a 4-pin Weipu DC connector, the FPL features dedicated conductors for both power and feedback. This ensures exact voltage at the ERCO Gen 2 input, eliminating resistance-based loss and further reducing electrical noise. The result is improved transient response, detail retrieval, and stereo imaging.

Compact and beautifully constructed, all three components share the same aluminium chassis and minimalist design language. Together, they form a visually and sonically cohesive system that fits perfectly into any high-end desktop or rack-based setup. Every element reflects Ferrum’s commitment to exceptional engineering and timeless aesthetics.

The synergy between the ERCO Gen 2, HYPSOS, and FPL Cable elevates listening to an entirely new level. The DAC and amplifier bring clarity and authority, the power supply adds precision and control, and the cable unites the system with perfect electrical harmony. The result is effortless sound — open, natural, and deeply engaging.

For Groove Central listeners seeking reference-grade performance in a compact, elegant design, the Ferrum Audio ERCO Gen 2 System delivers a complete solution. It’s the perfect union of technology, craftsmanship, and musical truth — a system that simply lets you hear more.
