I am a self appointed audiophile extraordinaire and a self appointed football expert
I bought my Walnut F2 on AliExpress for £23.29.
The supplied charging cable stopped working after 2 charges. That went straight in the bin
.
On first use there was a crackling sound audible in-between tracks. This has turned into a humming noise after a few weeks use. This noise may be unique to my unit as another owner on head-fi told me that he does not hear any noise on his F2. The noise doesn’t annoy me as such. I just know that its there. I listen out for it now
The sound from the player is great. The sound is warm with nice bass.
I have tried a few different opamps. OPA2604 is the original. I have tried OPA1612 and NJM5532D. Both seem to have improved the sound. I am enjoying hearing the different sounds that different opamps offer. The opamp can be easily accessed by removing the 4 Allen screws on the top of the device and lifting the top of the unit off. I have replaced all of the Allen bolts with M2 2x8mm bolts with Phillips heads for ease of removal.
The F2 only plays wav or MP3 files. There is no screen.
I love this player for the music quality
and the fun factor. I have many different music players but I am finding myself reaching for the F2 every time that I want to listen to music.
Highly recommended.

Thanks, LaughMoreDaily--that's exactly what I was hoping to hear (I love screenless DAPs). Went ahead and ordered one--looking forward to getting it!
