Introducing the Ferrum HYPSOS Dual Output Power Supply

The Ferrum HYPSOS Dual Output Power Supply Review is here to explore one of the most versatile and revealing power solutions on the market. Boasting a hybrid linear/switching design, its sleek chassis conceals advanced features like Sweet Spot Tuning, 4-Terminal Sensing and Spread Spectrum Mode that collectively breathe new life into your audio system.

Design & Build Quality

Ferrum’s commitment to precision engineering is evident in every aspect of the HYPSOS. The robust aluminium enclosure not only looks immaculate but also aids in thermal dissipation. Ingeniously, Ferrum has integrated two identical DC outputs sharing a continuous voltage from 5 to 30 V, with a combined current delivery of up to 6 A (80 W). The inclusion of high-quality DC power cables—5.5 × 2.5 mm and 5.5 × 2.1 mm plugs—means instant compatibility with most DACs and headphone amplifiers. Custom cables can be tailored to order for those rare connectors.

Key Technical Highlights

• Hybrid Power System: Combines linear and switching topologies to achieve ultra-low ripple alongside fast transient response and high efficiency.
• Sweet Spot Tuning (SST): Fine-tune the output voltage on the fly to discover the precise voltage that best unlocks your device’s tonal balance and dynamics.
• 4-Terminal Sensing (4TSD): Special feedback wiring to ensure the voltage at the DC input is rock-solid, negating cable losses and elevating transient accuracy.
• Spread Spectrum Mode: Further suppresses electromagnetic interference, ensuring a pristine noise floor.
• Advanced Automation: Compatible with Apple TV remote, offers trigger in/out for seamless system power-up, and features standby mode even without a dedicated trigger.
• Robust Safeties: Auto transformer voltage adjust, output polarity switch, overvoltage, current limit and short-circuit protection.

Performance & Sound Quality

In listening tests, the HYPSOS reveals a remarkable ability to pull back the noise curtain. Instruments emerge with greater bloom, bass definition tightens and microdynamics become startlingly audible. The 4T sensing ensures even the most delicate transient is delivered uncoloured, while SST lets you A/B voltage settings in real-time to hone in on the optimum operating point for your DAC or amplifier. Music flows with natural pacing, and fatigue is banished—even after marathon listening sessions.

Who Should Consider the HYPSOS Dual Output?

If you’re running multiple Ferrum units—say, the acclaimed OOR headphone amplifier alongside the WANDLA converter—the HYPSOS Dual Output is a tidy, cost-effective solution to declutter your rack. Equally, any audiophile using components with 5–30 V DC inputs will appreciate the leap in performance over generic wall adaptors and basic bench supplies. Install it centre-stage to unlock your system’s true potential.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Dual outputs for simultaneous device power; universal voltage range; superb 4T sensing feedback; SST for on-the-fly voltage tweaks; hybrid design yields low noise and high efficiency; comprehensive safety protections; advanced automation options; custom cable availability.
• Cons: Both outputs share the same voltage (requires matching voltage requirements); full 4T sensing active on main output only; may need special cables for niche DC jacks.
