Description
Silent Angel Forester F2 Linear Power Supply
The Silent Angel Forester F2 Linear Power Supply 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.

Features
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.
Recommended Application & Setup
1. The Compact Setup:
Connect and power the streamer, switch, and storage expansion (with standalone power).
- Streamer, Munich M1 (or M1T) : 5V-2A port
- Network Switch, Bonn N8: 5V-1A port
- Storage Expansion, Expander E1: 12V-1A port
- Use different DC cables (Use Bastei series, the 5V and 12V ones respectively)
2. An Extra-Upgrade for the HiFi Ethernet Network:
F2 is a great premium option to further upgrade the power of Bonn N8 Pro, an advanced audiophile network switch.
- Simply connect the Audio Network Switch Bonn NX and Bonn N8 Pro DC-power port (Labeled as “External 12VDC Input”) to the F2’s 12V-1A port for the stable power supply.
- Use different DC cables (Use Bastei series, the 5V and 12V ones respectively)
3. Powering the HiFi NAS:
Roon Core Server / HiFi NAS, Plus An Upgraded External Power Supply.
F2 is capable of stably powering both Rhein Z1, Rhein Z1 Plus, Munich MU, and Expander E1 concurrently.
- 12V-3A port for Music Server Rhein Z1, Rhein Z1 Plus; Music Streamer Munich MU.
- 12V-1A port for Word Clock Genesis GX and Storage expansion (with option of 8TB and 10TB storage), Expander E1.
- Use different DC cables (Use Bastei series, the 5V and 12V ones respectively, learn more)
