I don't know how prudent it is to be posting much about or recommending any Storm gear until Ken backs up all his talk and makes it up to all the people he's shafted.

I'm not recommending anything. He just asked if there were any more battery-powered DACs, and I believe these two fit that bill. I guess I should have posted a disclaimer about the manufacturer and linked to the Action Against Storm Digital thread.

The Apogee Mini-DAC is battery powered? I know you can use a third-party DC battery pack with it, but I don't think it is battery powered in the traditional sense. Are you asking about DACs that are specifically battery powered (Like the Ack! dAck! 2.0), or those that CAN be battery powered if you lug around a DC battery pack?

I'd be interested to know the DACs' that either ARE or CAN BE battery powered without the need for modding.

Storm D02 is battery powered. To my understanding. the storm pandora isn't battery powered as standard, but battery power is available as an add-on

Any DAC can be battery-powered, provided it doesn't use a discrete output stage. And even those can be battery-powered if you have a big battery.

the relevent issue is what dacs come with batteries from factory

Everything is relative... Try this one for what is arguably the first battery-operated audio gear ever!
Might look stupid today, but that's state-of-the-art in 1923, created by the genius mind of Edwin H. Armstrong, perhaps the most significant contributor to the development of analog electronics ever.
