Also, gents check what kind of sine wave comes out of it. Many of the conventional computer UPSs don't put out a pure sine wave (at least last time I looked).

I've got a Furman PL8-CE sitting in my guitar rack feeding an amp modeller + power amp (http://www.furmansound.com/product.php?div=03&id=PL-PLUSCE). These go for about $170 @ B&H. Maybe I should try it with my audio rig.
I've also heard reports that "power conditioners" can negatively impact sound quality... .
Only $118 on Amazon for the 1000VA version. If we just need it for conditioning (not backup for a computer or something) we shouldn't need a massive battery, right?
I listened to the amp with my Roxanne's (Single Ended) and there was noise at low level. It was not dead quiet for me... YMMV
Alex said that the balanced output would be much better for sensitive in ears. He let me listen to his modded balanced ety's (not sure of model) the amp was quiet with them.
The portable amp AKA the "silver one" was dead quiet with my Rox. very nice amp and I will be getting one of them also when it comes out.

Shouldn't affect sound quality negatively unless something's actually wrong with cabling or hardware in the device, but it's all personal opinion. I'm gonna be getting a power conditioner from them later on since I don't see anything bad about em.

I use a Furman rack mount conditioner, for my bass guitar rig. I don't know about its "conditioning" qualities, but its saved my butt many times at locations with questionable power supplies.....
If a conditioner is outputting a variable voltage and not outputting a stable level of juice I think its far smarter to throw out a few extra bones for something that can. Personally, I'm more inclined to get something I can just drop on the floor behind my desk and forget about. I really don't like the idea of a power conditioner eating up needed deskspace. But, it seems that everything I've looked into is designed to sit on ones desk/rack. The few I've found that fit my needs are priced sky high.
If you want to get an amazing power conditioner and are willing to do a bit of searching you can find industrial strength Topaz Line 1 or Line 2 Power Conditioners for a steal. These things retail for up to thousands, but can be had used for cheap. There's always a risk they hum a little bit, but when you're getting something for 10% of its price then that's a risk you might want to take, and with headphones you'll be unlikely to hear it anyway. I have two of these protecting the two channels of my stereo setup and I rest well that I can leave it on 24/7 and never worry about anything getting through. .
Here's a number that are on eBay currently. They're used and sometimes a bit beat-up, so they're not audio eye-candy, but they were built for very sensitive industrial or laboratory equipment, so are very well made. YMMV of course, but I love these things.

From what I can tell, the Furman Elite 15i is about the cheapest ($300) power filter and conditioner that would be considered 'audiophile' quality. But that's just my budget range that I've found and it's at the very top of my willingness to part with cash on a power related thing. I'm sure there are tons of others that'll perform as well but I've only spent one day on research so far.
