Ferrum Audio HYPSOS Upgrade power supply unit

HYPSOS represents a revolutionary category of Hi-Fi products. This innovative device is not just a power supply, but is considered an audio component in its own right - as important a part of a setup as any other. With HYPSOS, Ferrum has developed a solution that combines the best of both worlds and ushers in a new era in audio technology.

Unique features and future-proof technology

HYPSOS is characterized by a selection of unique features while being prepared for future software improvements. The device is designed to have minimal hardware-dependent elements and to be largely software-controlled. This allows for continuous development and adaptation to new requirements and technologies.

Hybrid Power System

At the heart of HYPSOS is the innovative Hybrid Power System. It combines a linear and a switch hybrid design to take advantage of the benefits of both technologies. This achieves low noise levels as well as fast transient response and high efficiency. This combination ensures that your audio devices are always optimally powered without compromising on sound quality.

Versatile usability

HYPSOS offers outstanding flexibility and usability. Preconfigured settings are available for a wide range of supported devices. In addition, user-defined parameters can be set manually. With a continuously variable output voltage range of 5-30V and a maximum output current of up to 6A, HYPSOS is universally applicable and can optimally supply almost any audio device.

Sweet Spot Tuning (SST)

One of the most outstanding features of HYPSOS is Sweet Spot Tuning (SST). This feature allows the output voltage to be adjusted on the fly to achieve the best sound. This fine tuning allows simple comparison tests to be carried out so that you can find the optimal sound for your setup.

4T Sensing Design (4TSD)

The 4T sensing design ensures that the accurate voltage is applied to the DC input terminal of the powered device. Special cables and feedback loops are used to ensure constant voltage stability. This technique effectively eliminates the harmful effects of cable resistance and greatly improves the transient response, ensuring a precise and stable power supply.

Ease of use and security

HYPSOS is extremely user-friendly and offers numerous automation options. It is compatible with the Apple TV remote control and has a trigger in/out port. This allows the automation of device power in standby mode, even without a dedicated trigger connection.

Security features

In terms of safety, HYPSOS leaves nothing to be desired. It has an automatic transformer voltage adjustment (ATVA), an electronic output voltage polarity switch and protection mechanisms against overvoltage, current limitation and short circuits. In addition, the settings can be locked to prevent accidental changes to the parameters.

Detailed and open sound

HYPSOS brings your current audio setup to its full potential. It allows you to optimize the sound by changing the voltage level during operation and offers the possibility to use preferred combinations of the 4-Terminal Sensing and Spread Spectrum Mode settings. This flexibility results in a detailed and open sound image, without fatigue during prolonged listening.
