Hi Jian,

Yes, it is safe to keep it plugged into the AC power. It will keep your battery fully charged as well as draw its power from the 5V power adapter.

are there any amps which safely pair to iMod without blocking caps? I am especially interested to know about following:

* Pico
* Supermicro IV
* Minibox E+
Hi kostalex,

I do not recommend using the 5g/5.5g iMod with an amp without using the ALO iMod dock cable or iMod dock unit (which has the dc blocking caps).

You run the risk of damaging your iMod's dac (which would require a complete motherboard replacement), your headphone amp, and even if your headphones.

Best regards,

Vinnie
