Ferrum starts with the same kind of ground-up thinking that shaped HYPSOS, focusing on the integrity of the zeros and ones before they ever reach your DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center of BROEN is Ferrum’s SERCE digital-to-digital convertor heart, designed to keep the input and output domains separated while providing FPGA-based reclocking and galvanically isolated audio outputs. It supports a wide range of digital outputs, including AES\/EBU, coaxial S\/PDIF, optical S\/PDIF, I2S over HDMI, and dedicated USB DAC outputs on Type-A and Type-C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBROEN is Powered by Volumio, giving it access to a broad streaming ecosystem with Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, UPnP\/DLNA, web radio, CD playback and ripping, multi-room playback, and playback from USB storage, NAS, or an internal user-supplied M.2 NVMe SSD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetwork connectivity is equally flexible. BROEN includes dual-band Wi-Fi as standard, with optional RJ45 Ethernet or optical network connection through its SFP socket. For systems where noise control matters, the SFP option allows BROEN to connect to a compatible optical network setup and reduce the noise that can arrive from the outside world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBROEN is also designed as part of the Ferrum ecosystem. With Ferrum Streaming Control Technology, it can integrate with WANDLA so artist and title information appear on WANDLA’s screen, with control available from WANDLA’s touchscreen or remote. BROEN can also be upgraded with HYPSOS using Ferrum Power Link for a higher-performance power-supply path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowered by Volumio for broad streaming and playback support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSERCE DDC output stage with FPGA-based reclocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanically isolated audio outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low jitter clocks for synchronous digital outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi standard, with optional RJ45 Ethernet or optical SFP networking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal M.2 NVMe SSD slot for user-supplied music storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFerrum Streaming Control Technology support for WANDLA integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgradeable with HYPSOS using Ferrum Power Link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA firmware updates and plugin-capable platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Network streaming transport\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStreaming Platform:\u003c\/b\u003e Powered by Volumio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStreaming Services:\u003c\/b\u003e Spotify, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Qobuz Connect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdditional Playback:\u003c\/b\u003e AirPlay, UPnP\/DLNA renderer, web radio, CD playback and ripping, Bluetooth A2DP, Sonos and Chromecast streaming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupported Formats:\u003c\/b\u003e MP3, WMA, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, APE, WAV, DSD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage Playback:\u003c\/b\u003e USB drives, internal M.2 NVMe SSD, NAS via DLNA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl:\u003c\/b\u003e iOS\/Android app, web browser, basic front-panel control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNetwork Connectivity:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4\/5G, SFP socket for optional RJ45 ethernet or fiber optic modules\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDigital Audio Outputs:\u003c\/b\u003e Coaxial S\/PDIF, AES\/EBU, optical S\/PDIF, I2S over HDMI, USB DAC Type-A, USB DAC Type-C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUSB:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A and Type-C for media drives and service\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInternal Storage Slot:\u003c\/b\u003e M.2 NVMe SSD, 80 or 110 mm, drive not included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVideo Output:\u003c\/b\u003e HDMI for screen display and system interface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSystem Integration:\u003c\/b\u003e Ferrum Streaming Control Technology, trigger in\/out, OTA firmware updates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/b\u003e 8.6\" x 2\" x 8.1\" (21.7 x 5 x 20.6 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.19 lb.
