Ferrum WANDLA
Ferrum has its own ideas when it comes to tweaking the sound to your liking. Their first product, HYPSOS, aims to generally improve the sound of all connected devices - but also gives you the option to tweak it by changing the voltage going in.
Oor, the Amplifier, changes its sound when you switch from any gain mode to bypass, because the signal path completely circumvents the potentiometer - uand Wandla is the only DAC with enough computing power to run HQPLayer filters, without comprimise, directly on device. This improves spatial presentation and immersiveness compared even to other DACs using the exact same chip.
Add to that the option to switch from digital volume control to analog (but still changeable via the remote control) or bypass mode.
It also comes with a true plethora of input options, making WANDLA one of the most flexible DACs on the market, for example HDMI ARC, I2S, AES and USB C, to name a few...
