Forester F2

The Linear Power Supply That Supports HiFi Streaming Systems

There are various details in a HiFi streaming system that might affect the audio quality. One essential factor pertaining to the goal of pursuing ultimate sound quality is an extremely stable power source. The Forester F2 is designed for music lovers who want to discover their system’s true potential and pursue the finest audio quality possible.

Power Stabilization Technology

The Forester F2 model adopts Silent Angel’s power stabilization technology. Housed in an elegant metal enclosure with solid and thick aluminum alloy (8 mm) front and rear panels, it’s designed to reduce any possible machine vibrations and noises. The top and bottom are made of high-quality SECC galvanized steel, which is highly anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion. The AC power flows through the toroidal transformer with high-quality power management, MOSFET components with fast response time. Thus, supplying an extremely stable DC power with ultra-low voltage fluctuation to the connected devices.

Multiple Outputs

F2 employs multiple DC outputs including 12V/3A, 12V/1A, 5V/2A, and 5V/1A with an option of connecting to USB ports. An ideal solution to upgrade the power source for your HiFi streaming network for the following models:

12V (Max power output budget is 36W):

• 12V/3A can power Z1
• 12V/1A can power E1 / N8 Pro

5V (Max power output budget is 10W):

• 5V/2A can power M1 / M1T
• 5V/1A can power N8, etc.

By having an enhanced stable power supply, your device’s clock module will be able to perform extremely accurate operations, allow network data packets to be transmitted at precise timing, and reduce possible jitter and latency. This all contributes to improved sound quality. Besides, it also enables streamer devices to run in a stabler status and perform better.

Other Upgrades
