Silent Angel Forester F2 Linear Power Supply

Silent Angel Forester F2

Upgrade your digital audio system with ultra-quiet, high-stability power courtesy of the Silent Angel Forester F2, designed to reveal deeper textures, wider soundstages and more lifelike musical reproduction.

The Silent Angel Forester F2 is a high-performance linear power supply engineered for audiophile streaming systems. It delivers exceptionally stable DC power via multiple outputs (12 V/3 A, 12 V/1 A, 5 V/2 A, 5 V/1 A + USB) so that your streamers, servers, network switches or storage devices operate with lower noise, lower jitter and better timing. For owners of Silent Angel products or other audio gear that accepts 12 V or 5 V DC input, the Forester F2 provides an upgrade path to a premium power source.

With its robust chassis—8 mm aluminum front and back panels and SECC galvanized-steel top and bottom—the Silent Angel Forester F2 minimizes vibration and interference from the enclosure itself. Internally it uses toroidal transformers, ultra-low-noise MOSFET regulation and EMI absorption design to deliver ultra-low voltage fluctuation and clean power rails. This means your gear can perform at its peak rather than being limited by the power supply.

Whether you’re driving a Silent Angel Rhein Z1 Plus, Bonn N8 Pro switch or Munich MU streamer (or equivalent gear from other brands), the Silent Angel Forester F2 is built to help you extract that next level of audio resolution, image stability and dynamic realism. With the power supply upgrade in place, you may notice quieter backgrounds, more precise micro-detail and a more convincing sense of space and presence.

Top 20 Questions About Silent Angel Forester F2

What devices can the Silent Angel Forester F2 power?
The Silent Angel Forester F2 supports a wide variety of HiFi devices that accept 12 V or 5 V DC input, such as streamers, network switches, storage servers or other Silent Angel gear (for example Rhein Z1 Plus, Bonn N8 Pro, Munich MU). It offers both 12 V and 5 V outputs to cover multiple components.

How does the Silent Angel Forester F2 improve sound quality?
By providing ultra-stable, low-noise DC power to your components, the Silent Angel Forester F2 reduces electrical interference and jitter, enabling improved timing, cleaner backgrounds, better micro-detail and more three-dimensional soundstage—features of high fidelity performance.

Why choose a linear power supply like the Silent Angel Forester F2 rather than a switching supply?
The Silent Angel Forester F2 uses toroidal transformers and linear regulation for very low voltage noise and stable output. Many audiophiles believe that linear supplies yield better sound in critical digital gear than conventional switching supplies due to lower EMI and cleaner rails.

Is the Silent Angel Forester F2 compatible with non-Silent Angel gear?
Yes. While optimized for Silent Angel devices, the Silent Angel Forester F2’s output voltages and currents (12 V/3 A, 12 V/1 A, 5 V/2 A, 5 V/1 A) make it compatible with many other hi-fi components that accept those DC input specs—just confirm your device’s required voltage and plug size.

What plug sizes are used on the outputs of the Silent Angel Forester F2?
The 12 V outputs use a 5.5 × 2.5 mm DC plug. The 5 V outputs use a 5.5 × 2.1 mm DC plug or USB Type-A, depending on the output channel. 

Can I use both the DC plug and USB on the 5 V outputs simultaneously on the Silent Angel Forester F2?
No. According to the Quick Start guide, the same 5 V output set cannot have both the DC plug and USB connected at the same time for the Silent Angel Forester F2. 

What are the build quality features of the Silent Angel Forester F2?
The Silent Angel Forester F2 features an enclosure with 8 mm thick aluminum alloy front and rear panels, SECC galvanized steel top and bottom for anti-oxidation, vibration suppression and interference protection. The internal design includes toroidal transformers, MOSFET regulation and EMI absorbers. 

How much noise reduction or jitter improvement can I expect with the Silent Angel Forester F2?
While exact numbers are not published, reviews and press materials note that the Silent Angel Forester F2 enables “extremely stable DC power with ultra-low voltage fluctuation” and help reduce jitter and latency in digital audio systems. 

Does the Silent Angel Forester F2 require any special cooling or ventilation?
Standard operation is specified for 0–35 °C ambient, with venting via its chassis heat-dissipation design. It is recommended to allow adequate airflow around the unit and not to cover ventilation holes. Over-temperature warning indicators are built in. 

What is the warranty on the Silent Angel Forester F2?
The manufacturer warranty details for the Silent Angel Forester F2 vary by region and dealer. Typically, Silent Angel offers a limited-warranty via authorized dealers—including All Elite Audio as authorized Maryland dealer. Please contact us to confirm your local warranty terms.

Can the Silent Angel Forester F2 power multiple devices at once?
Yes. The Silent Angel Forester F2 supports four simultaneous outputs: two 12 V channels and two 5 V channels (plus USB options). It is ideal for powering multiple components in a HiFi streaming network (e.g., streamer + switch + storage). 

Does upgrading to the Silent Angel Forester F2 guarantee improved sound?
While “improvement” is subjective, the Silent Angel Forester F2 is engineered to provide a superior power foundation—so if your current power supply is limiting performance (noise, jitter, instability), then you are likely to hear a difference. As always, system context, cabling, environment and overall synergy also play roles.

Are there upgrade cables available specifically for use with the Silent Angel Forester F2?
Yes. Silent Angel offers “Bastei series” DC upgrade cables tailored for 12 V devices (Forester F2, Bonn N8 Pro, Munich MU) and 5 V devices. 

What colors does the Silent Angel Forester F2 come in?
It is available in Black or Silver finishes. 

What are the dimensions and weight of the Silent Angel Forester F2?
The unit measures approximately 200 mm × 111 mm × 200 mm and weighs about 4.2 kg / 9.3 lbs. 

Is the Silent Angel Forester F2 suitable for power-hungry devices?
The highest output is 12 V/3 A (36 W), and 12 V/1 A (12 W) plus the 5 V outputs (max ~10 W). For very high-current components you may need a higher-capacity supply—check your component’s requirements. 

Can I use the USB ports for the 5 V outputs on the Silent Angel Forester F2?
Yes, two of the 5 V outputs may be via USB ports as an alternative to the DC plugs—but you cannot use both the plug and USB simultaneously on those channels. 

Does the Silent Angel Forester F2 come with cables included?
The package includes the power cord, a couple of DC plug cables (5.5 × 2.5 mm and 5.5 × 2.1 mm) and a user manual plus warranty card.
