I was thinking of upgrading my rdacs power supply with a maplins one.... I was wondering if this could possibly damage it or cause any problems?
Thanks
Thanks
Yup - use a 6V lead acid battery from Maplins - about 20UKP - and a shortish cable. A 10 ampere hour or so battery is fine and will last for 24 hours or more continuous use. It works fine and arguably better than those expensive over priced after market PSUs
Of course you will need to charge it from time to time.....

What specification battery is best? There are various ones 6v 1.3ah, 4ah, 7ah, 10ah, 12ah etc.
Also how does the battery connect to the DAC?
I could buy a battery and then a plug in charger which will charge it then trickle charge it permanantly? And then how to connect the battery to the DAC?
Also is this definately going to improve the performance of the DAC? More so than a linear power supply even?
