Nice.
Exactly. I was going to put 2 or 3 DC jacks on the case for powering other things just like that. The prototype I have running now played my D25s for 11 hours solid and still had plenty of charge left. I was going to see just how long it would run on the SLA battery but I got tired of waiting for it do run out , so I stopped at 11 and feel that 11 hours with more to spare is going to be pretty good.

Ken,

I received my D25 today. It is a great little player and very handsome. I had one years and years ago but it died on me. It's nice to have another one.

Do you have any kind of ETA on the SLA battery?

Thanks again.

Ken,
I bought Sony D25s, but that time you didn't have 220v PS. So is it possible sending me 220v PS. (for sure i'll pay for delivery cost)

Anyways Vinnie is helping me (as usual, I love that guy) with a killer SLA battery power station. I have a enclosure on order and plan to build a prototype asap.

Basically it will be a metal enclosure that will house the battery, have a on off lamp, on off switch, 2 DC jack outputs so not only will it power your D25 but any device (amp) that also might take a 12V. The thinking was to place the D25 on top of this battery box since the enclosure will be slightly larger than the footprint of the D25s. I have built one and was floored by how much better the audio was running off the SLA. Yeah I figured it would be better but it the sound was a lot better than I was expecting.

Ken,

I acquired the D25S from you a while ago. I really love it for its handsome/solid look and fabulous sound! I have been searching for the batteries to be used with this unit. Please keep me posted on SLA.

Thanks,
Raymond

Can anyone tell me how this would compare to the SQ of a Pioneer 563a or 578a dvd player? (both have older Burr Brown DACs) I realize these are not portable devices but I am trying to get a fix on what is good sound and what isn't. If one of these portable players was as good or better than the Pioneer I would buy one. (If there are any still available.) I don't normally listen on the go, but would like the option occasionally.

Anyone have any comments on how the D25s would do as a temporary home source until I save enough money for a nicer CD player? It will more than likely be going through either a Singlepower amp or a Headroom Desktop amp into ATH-AD2000s or HD650s. Thoughts?
