Silent Angel Forester FX Reference Power Supply

The Silent Angel Forester FX is a linear reference power supply that feeds digital audio components in full-size format with absolutely clean DC power.

Where the F1 and F2 cover smaller to mid-sized setups, the FX is the uncompromising power hub for the very largest systems.

Why the Forester FX?

The FX is made for listeners who no longer accept any compromise on power purity.

• Four independent outputs: Powers up to four devices with a stable 12 or 5 volts and eliminates the jungle of plug-in supplies in the rack.
• Massive toroidal transformer: Delivers a very calm voltage without stray magnetic fields, making instruments feel more tangible.
• Symmetrical circuit design: Actively cancels electrical interference and creates a pitch-black background.
• Resonance-optimized metal housing: Protects the electronics from vibration and keeps the power supply constant.

What you get

On a Bonn NX the effect of the FX is immediately audible: it's like fueling with pure gasoline instead of contaminated fuel, the digital engine runs smoother and pulls harder. Spatial depth improves, quiet live atmosphere becomes more authentic, and the last digital roughness gives way to an almost analog-feeling flow. The FX also rewards a stable placement with added precision.

Who is the Forester FX for?

The FX is the tool for the very largest systems and several power-hungry digital devices. Bluntly: if you're only running a single small entry-level device, the Forester F1 is entirely right and the FX would cost too much for what you need. The FX pays off once several high-quality components call for reference-grade power.

Our verdict

A massive full-size device, and in a high-end system often the most important invisible component. The Forester FX is the answer when the power supply is where compromises should end. Make sure the sum of the current draws stays in the optimal range, and let's plan the allocation together at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the Forester FX for third-party devices?

Yes, as long as 5 or 12 volts and the connector polarity match. The FX is a universal upgrade for many DACs, streamers and switches on the market. If in doubt, we'll check your device's voltage and current values beforehand.

Why a linear power supply instead of a switch-mode one?

Switch-mode power supplies generate high-frequency noise by design. A linear design like the FX largely avoids this interference and takes the digital hardness out of the sound. The result is a more relaxed, more natural playback.

What's the difference between the FX and the Forester F2?

Both are multi-output power supplies in the top class. The FX comes in full-size format with a focused 5 V and 12 V configuration for large reference systems, while the F2 stays flexible for mixed setups with an additional 19 V option. We're happy to help you choose.

Why buy the Forester FX at HD Zürisee?

Because a reference power supply belongs properly planned into the system, from voltages to DC cables. We handle this planning in Wädenswil, supply the right cables and take care of setup and service with our own technician.
