Hi Cornan - I did try it with the original 9V setup and it drained the 9V battery in a little over 30 minutes - not really practical... :( Michael- Michael P

UpTone Audio USB REGEN
I opted to use 6 x AA as previously mentioned - and there seems to be a slight increase in SQ across the board compared to using the 9V block battery - not to mention an apparent increase in runtime - the 6 x AA started out at 7.62 V, and after about 4-5 hours playing, still showing 7.5V I also...- Michael P

UpTone Audio USB REGEN
If you google batteries in series, parallel, you can find all you need, as I should have done , rather than imposing on Abartels time and goodwill However, after a bit a research, it seems as if recharging Lipo batteries is almost a " take your life in your own hands" scenario - as regards the...- Michael P

UpTone Audio USB REGEN
I echo Cornan's thoughts on Battery SQ over the supplied PS And Abartels advice would be a better choice than just using a 9V block battery as I do But you can just try the 9V idea for approx $5 and then progress to Abartels idea , if you hear any improvement Michael- Michael P

It works fine as long as your DAC is self powered and not drawing any power through the Regen Or you could get one of these https://www.adafruit.com/products/67- Michael P

I have just been using a regular 9V battery ( the sort you use in a smoke detector) with the usual clip and a 2.1mm plug soldered on the end - have used it for about 4-5 hours so far and it's still reading 8.2V - based on this I will be getting a 9V rechargeable and charger Michael- Michael P

USB 2.0 vs 3.0 & "cheap brand" power cables vs china cables
Hi fapman -don't waste money on those "cheap" Chinese Power cables - they are poor quality rip-offs The 1st replier missed out 3 important words - " in my opinion" There are plenty of people who do in fact hear improvements with many different Power cables( including DIY) Michael -

as with the Curious USB Cable - but the Curious Cable does not distance the +5V wire from the data wires - it only does so with the GND wire. The Curious cable is actually the reverse of the above statement - the 5V wire is distanced from the Data wires ( as a thin coaxial wire wrapped...- Michael P
