It doesn't stream music. It has no DAC and no volume control. It's the muscle of your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 was built to be that muscle at a price that was once out of reach. EverSolo teamed up with \u003cstrong\u003eStarke Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e— an amp company based in California — to build this unit around Starke's custom \u003cstrong\u003eNS600 module\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a compact, 8-pound amp with serious output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stereo mode it puts out \u003cstrong\u003e145 watts per channel at 8 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e250 watts per channel at 4 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e. In bridged mono mode it reaches \u003cstrong\u003e450 watts at 2 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e. That's enough power for almost any speaker made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AMP-F2 is a power amp only. You need a separate preamp or streamer to control volume and pick your source. It pairs well with EverSolo's DMP-A6 or DMP-A8, but works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Amp Different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost amps at $799 use generic circuits. The AMP-F2 uses a module built by Starke Sound just for hi-fi use. The NS600 module runs \u003cstrong\u003ePurePath Ultra-HD technology\u003c\/strong\u003e with fast error-correction feedback. This keeps distortion very low across all frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp switches internally at up to \u003cstrong\u003e600kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e — far above what you can hear. A faster switching rate means the amp tracks the music signal more closely. The \u003cstrong\u003eSAPS power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e feeds the circuit a clean, stable signal with very low noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio tops 110dB. Total distortion is 0.003% at 10 watts.

Flip a switch on the back and both channels combine into one powerful mono channel — up to 450W at 2 ohms. In that mode, the amp drives a single speaker. You'd use one AMP-F2 per channel of your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people won't need this. Standard stereo mode is plenty for most setups. But if your speakers are very hard to drive, or you want to run two AMP-F2 units as mono blocks, bridging gives you the extra power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Listeners \u0026amp; Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 has earned strong praise from listeners and audio fans since it launched.

They run cool and use little power at idle. The NS600 module uses Texas Instruments' PurePath Ultra-HD tech with fast error-correction built in. This holds distortion very low across all frequencies. The AMP-F2 puts out about 65 BTU of heat per hour — less than a light bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSerious Power — 250W Stereo, 450W Bridged\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStereo mode: 145W per channel at 8 ohms, 250W per channel at 4 ohms. Bridged mono: 280W at 4 ohms, 450W at 2 ohms. Peak current is 16.5 amps per channel, or 33 amps when bridged. The amp can handle loads as low as 0.8 ohms — well below what most speakers ever demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSAPS Audio-Specific Switch Power Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SAPS supply was built just for audio use. It holds 600 watts of reserve power with very low ripple and very low electrical noise. A clean power supply means a clean signal to your speakers.

The AMP-F2 is a power amplifier only — it has no volume control, no DAC, and no streaming. You need a separate preamp or streamer\/preamp to control volume and select your source. It pairs naturally with EverSolo's DMP-A6 or DMP-A8, but works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA outputs. Speakers and speaker cables are also required and not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat preamp or streamer pairs best with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverSolo designed the AMP-F2 to work alongside their DMP-A6 and DMP-A8 streamer\/DAC\/preamps. A USB-to-Trigger cable is included so the two units power on and off together. That said, the AMP-F2 works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA balanced outputs. If you'd like help picking the right pairing, give us a call at 800-942-0220.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"bridged mono\" mean, and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridging combines both channels of the amp into a single, more powerful mono channel. In bridged mode the AMP-F2 delivers up to 450W at 2 ohms — enough for almost any speaker. Most listeners won't need it. It's most useful for very power-hungry speakers or for building a dual mono-block setup with two AMP-F2 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers work with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost any passive speaker. The AMP-F2 can handle loads as low as 0.8 ohms and delivers up to 16.5 amps of output current per channel. This gives it the ability to drive demanding, low-impedance speakers that would challenge less powerful amps. It pairs equally well with efficient bookshelf speakers and hungry floorstanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a remote control or volume control on the amp itself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AMP-F2 is a pure power amplifier with no volume control and no remote. Volume is controlled by your preamp or streamer. Power on\/off can be automated via the 12V trigger connection — when your preamp or EverSolo streamer powers on, the AMP-F2 follows automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the AMP-F2 run hot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Class D amplifiers are very efficient. The AMP-F2's heat output is rated at 65 BTU per hour — about the same as a light bulb. It draws only 14 watts at idle. You can safely place it in a closed or semi-enclosed rack without worrying about heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AMP-F2 differ from the EverSolo AMP-F10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F10 is EverSolo's higher-powered Class AB amplifier. Class AB designs use a traditional analog output stage with a large transformer and large capacitors — the AMP-F10 weighs significantly more and runs warmer. The AMP-F2 uses a more modern Class D design. Both are capable amplifiers, but at different price points and with different sonic characters. Call us if you'd like help deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the AMP-F2 work with my existing non-EverSolo preamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The AMP-F2 has standard XLR and RCA inputs and works with any preamp that has those outputs. You won't get the automatic USB trigger sync you'd have with an EverSolo DMP-A6, but you can still use the 12V trigger input if your preamp supports it. Otherwise, simply switch it on manually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSee It in Action\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverSolo DMP-A10 Review — Darko Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarko Audio's video review of the EverSolo DMP-A10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuKIVDDR_mE?si=ygzSyJZoHVeLGe0a\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

It connects to your home network. Then it plays music from apps like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and more. It sends that music to your amp or powered speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of it as the brain of your music system. You don’t need to swap CDs or plug in your phone. The Node Icon grabs music from the internet. It can also play files from a USB drive. Then it does all the work to make your music sound great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has a built-in DAC. A DAC turns digital music files into sound your speakers can play. The Node Icon uses a premium ESS Sabre DAC chip. This is the same kind of chip found in much pricier gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Node Icon special? It’s the step-up model from the standard Node. It has a better DAC inside. It adds balanced XLR outputs. And it has a cleaner output stage. All of this means better sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Does It Make Your Music Sound Better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC inside is an ESS Sabre ES9033Q2M. It runs in a quad-channel setup. That means each audio channel goes through the chip twice. This cuts down on noise. You hear more music and less hiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Node Icon also has balanced XLR outputs. These are a type of cable hookup. They cancel out buzz and hum from the wire. This matters if you run long cables. It also helps if your system is very detailed. If your amp has XLR inputs, use them. You’ll get the cleanest sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt plays hi-res audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz. It can decode MQA tracks, too. MQA is a format that packs studio-quality sound into a smaller file. If you use Tidal or Qobuz, you’ll hear all the detail in your music. It also plays DSD files (DSD64 and DSD128) for those with hi-res music libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Hi-Fi?\u003c\/strong\u003e gave the Node Icon five stars.

It has a better DAC chip inside. It adds balanced XLR outputs. And it has a cleaner output stage. Think of it this way: the standard Node is great for most people. The Icon is for those who want the best sound possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Node Icon has a very good DAC built in. Just connect it to your amp with RCA or XLR cables. But if you already own a DAC you love, you can use the digital outputs to feed it. Both ways work well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does it work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs on BluOS. That gives you Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, TuneIn, and more. Over 20 services in all. It also has AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HDMI eARC port lets you send TV sound to the Node Icon. From there it goes to your amp and speakers. Movies and shows will sound much better through your hi-fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I use Wi-Fi or a cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wired Ethernet cable is best. It gives the most stable connection. This matters most with hi-res streams. But the dual-band Wi-Fi works well, too. Use it if running a cable isn’t easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it have a headphone jack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There’s a 3.5mm jack on the unit. Plug in your headphones for late-night listening. No extra gear needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I play music from a USB drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Plug a thumb drive or hard drive into the USB-A port. The Node Icon plays FLAC, WAV, and many other file types from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it do multi-room audio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Add other BluOS speakers around your home. The BluOS app lets you control them all. Play the same song everywhere, or a different song in each room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll need an amp and speakers. Or a pair of powered speakers. The Node Icon handles streaming and the DAC. It just needs something to make the sound loud. Not sure what to pair it with?
