I am agree with you , that battery is like heart for all portable audio gear
LIke portable AMP and DAP and DAC

I and my friends have done so many brand for our Stax amp Srm 002 and now my Wagnus Epsilon as well
The result from so many brands battery on the market in Indonesia as follow :

The best SQ in term tonal balance , clarity , transparency , detail , sweet and clear mid , better bass detail and bass impact :

1st ranking : Sanyo Alkaline battery 1,5 volt
2nd ranking : ABC alkaline battery 1,5 volt local brand
3rd ranking : Panasonic alkaline 1,5 volt

Nots :

This is the same for rechargeable battery 1,5 Volt , please try from many brands ,you can hear the SQ different very noticeable .

This is my IMO

Ok guys I haven't posted in this portable thread in a long time since I broke away from a portable rig. 
 
But things have changed for the better and I've gotten back into portable gear.
 
Here are some pictures.
 
Gear consist of Sony SACD transport as Crystal Piccolo'd to my SRM-Xh amplifier to my SR-202. I also have my Compaq laptop sandwiched in there if I want to change my source, you know an extra "DAP" doesn't hurt, now does it?
 

 

 

 
 
Here's a shot of how I take my portable gear around the place "on the go"
 

 
The front pockets are used to hold the solar inverter and I have a special umbrella and cap that has 190watt solar panels to provide the juice to power my portable rig....
 
....it's pretty portable aye?

Daaang. You're really going all-out for a portable rig aren't you.
 
Oh well, at least you'll have home listening quality sound wherever you go.

dB2 is very good dac , if pair later with AK 100 and AK 120

So how does that work Rudi?

Optical out from the AK100 into the optical in of the DB2 DAC?

I assume that bypasses the AK100 DAC therefore just using the AK100 as a transport? I assume you then need to go DB2 into amp (preferably DB2 -> PB2 Balanced?) and then Balanced out from the Amp?

 

[Jason36]

Thank you Rudi my friend
This is something I plan to do later on Either that or the new Little Dot DAP.
p.s. PLEASE post a picture of the AK100/AK120 with the DB2/PB2 combo!! pretty please lol...

I agree Rudi.....lets see how that works and looks?

Also Rudi any chance you can connect the AK100 to the CLAS Solo (original) ie. Ak100 -> CLAS Solo -> Rx Mk3 -> IEM/HP???? Is that Possible??

You have it correct Jason

Class solo original is dac for iDevice only
You can not use for AK 100 or AK 120
It is not possible

Hi all

I have now picture from AK 100 with Ibasso DB2 from my friend set up

Source : Ak 100 mod
Dac : IBasso DB2 balance dac
Amp: alo Rx 3 b
Headphone : LCD 2 rev 1

AK 100 to DB 2 use optical cable
My friend mod his AK 100, that he mod the line in to COAX line OUT
He use coax cable between AK 100 mod to DB2
DB 2 to alo Rx 3 B use RSA to Hiroshe balance cable

Note :
The schematic is the same if you use Ibasso PB 2 as balance amp
You use hiroshe to hiroshe balance cable between DB2 and PB 2 , like Paul done i his rigs above

Use coaxial cable in his mod AK 100

Use optical cable in his AK 100 stock

Looks pretty sick
How does the Intruder perform in comparison to the Pelican?

Yes it look not so good , but the sq is very good
Intruder has more power on high gain to drive my LCD 2
More balance , wider soundstage , better bass impact , midrange is sweet like tube sound IMO

I wouldn't call any of the bricks posted here portable. Transportable? Sure..which is one common thing between mine and there's.
