Ferrum Streams Ahead with BROEN Debut in Warsaw

StereoNET’s Eugene Ng was on the ground at the show to capture some of the first images of the new BROEN breaking cover in Warsaw.

With the tagline “This is not a streamer… it’s a work of art,” Ferrum says BROEN represents a bold new chapter for the brand, extending its digital expertise beyond DACs and power supplies into high-end streaming. True to its Danish-inspired name — meaning bridge — BROEN has been conceived as a digital gateway designed to link Ferrum’s existing product ecosystem. Its development follows the recent WANDLA 2.0.0 firmware update, which introduced Ferrum Streaming Control Technology (FSCT), enabling WANDLA DACs to act as streaming-ready companions. BROEN builds directly on that foundation.

Ferrum says the project required “getting back to the drawing board” to rethink its internal architecture. The newly designed SERCE module now operates purely in the digital domain, forming the heart of BROEN and paving the way for future upgrades.

One of BROEN’s strengths, according to Ferrum, is its modularity. It can operate as a standalone digital transport, but pairs seamlessly with the company’s WANDLA DAC — allowing users to control BROEN via WANDLA’s touchscreen and remote. Combined with Ferrum’s HYPSOS power supply, the company describes this trio as the ultimate flagship streaming system.

For software reliability, BROEN is powered by Volumio, leveraging the Italian platform’s extensive streaming ecosystem and its community of more than half a million users worldwide. Ferrum’s design team says the goal was simple: to make BROEN a “class-defining” streamer that fuses elegant industrial design with deep digital capability.

Speaking ahead of the Warsaw debut, the company said:

We simply couldn’t have made it any better — BROEN is a real work of art.

Ferrum Audio plans to release BROEN during Q1–Q2 2026, with pricing to be announced closer during the launch. Visitors to Audio Video Show Warsaw (October 24–26, 2025, PGE National Stadium, Skybox 139 and Headspace Zone +1) will get the first chance to audition the prototype. This will be followed shortly by its appearance at the Paris Audio Video Show, represented by Jarosław Jabłoński and Renaud Ribet from French distributor Delta Audio.
