While this may give you 2 hours of listening or so, I believe that the NiMH solution at 1 amp load may lose terminal voltage due to internal resistance and you may just be driving you SB3 at a supply rail not intended by the engineers of te device. Of course, experimentation is the only true source of observable results, so go right ahead. Better to drop the voltage from something higher (like a 12V or 6V battery) or use a linear supply. As Sean Adams once told me, the switching supply of the SB3 introduced noise well below the noise floor of the DAC, and other components in the output stage, so if you pick anything up by switching to battery, you have better ears than I. -- peejay After Silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music - Aldous Huxley. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peejay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7046 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29633 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
