I tried two different types of usb a to 3.5mm cables and neither worked. If anyone finds a cable that works, please let me know!
I have F2 a good week. It is connected in pre out with Denon AVC-X 4800h. It drives my front Klipsch RP 8000F. In any case, the amplifier is worthy of its money. The sound is great, trigger (mono cable) works normally.
Now, how does the F2 compare with other classe D offerings, like the cheaper Fosi audio options (ZA3 or V3 PFFB monos), or more expensive, or sometimes (Audiophonics?) options with Hypex/Purifi options ? Anybody been there ?
I can personally compare with the XTZ Edge A2 - 300 (IcePower module from Bang & Olufsen). The F2 has softer high tones, the bass can be more defined and the stage wider. What I hear in my system, and I am 55. Both are a great value for money what they offer. Between them, however, the price difference is about 250 euros.
I had a look at that amp, but single ended input won’t do it for me. OTOH the A2-400 could do it, but at c. 100€ more. However, at that kind of money c. 900€ you are getting into Hypex NC252MP, territory, or maybe NCx500. The Eversolo wins on aesthetic grounds, but the Hypex solutions can be had assembled in Europe or the USA, depending on what your preference, at very competitive prices. This is what I am leaning towards, and particularly the Apollon Audio offerings, albeit their entry level ranges.
I thought about NC 252 of Nord Acoustics and Apollon Audio. Apollon (Maribor - Slovenia) is 25 km away from my home, I am from Slovenia. Nord is from UK. Both would cost me around 1000 eur. I got F2 for 699 euro. Price and also a little aesthetic reasons.
That’s a good deal! Where did you buy it from. I’m in France, so Audiophonics solutions are a good choice.
I bought at the official seller for Slovenia - Archus.si. I know myself with the owner and got a little discount. Yes, for France, Audiophonics is the best solution. All sellers in the EU have the same price of 799 EUR.
I watched it, but had the sound very low, wasn't sure about what he was saying other than he thought the Eversolo worth buying.
Basically he said all, and the contrary of all. Just to please everybody. Lately (few months...?) Andrew has made a move towards slighly more "professional" reviews, in the terms of describing how and with what he made such reviews / comparisons. Nevertheless he's still far from being technical enough. As almost all of them, he's subjective, even if he tries to appear on the tech side...
Hi, I had a Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Pre and power 300 on the eversolo dmp a6 but decided to give the amp f2 a try. Now I own two amp f2’s and I use them in mono mode. I really like the sound and even more so after they mellowed a bit after a couple of weeks. I am not a firm believer in burning in electronics but at first I had to usse a bit of roll of on the highs but now I do not need this feature anymore. I use Technics SB E100’s in their ‘normal’ setting. The amps do punch nicely but not exagerated bass is nicely detailed, mids are well defined and high is very clear (cd/file/ Spotify). You can find the music I listen to there (‘music in the key of my life’ , ‘speakertest’ and ‘soundtest’ on Spotify). I do not regret trading the Musical Fidelity’s for the Eversolos one bit (no pun intended)
