Does anyone know if it's possible to plug the DSS or Mixamp to a usb power supply instead of the usb port of the console? Would it be bad for it considering then it would constantly be on?

Ok thanks guys! I'll give it a try.

Does the HD598 benefit from using an E9 with a DSS or is it better to use it without the E9?
