the lithium rechargeable batteries have a lower impedance, which is a good thing for sound quality
 
the additional voltage is only advantageous if you are powering very hard to drive headphones.

Guys,

To all intents and purposes a battery is a battery is a battery!

Please don't become overly fixated with battery composition, voltage swings and charging regimes. Just enjoy your wonderful new amplifier and use it to play music.

Cheers,

Andy.

Been 2 and a half year since I quit the hobby. Now I'm coming back and this thing is still not on sale! I might go and preorder

Thank you. Same when the sr71 came out, surprised there isn't a battery rolling thread yet.

Hi guys,
 
Everyone must be enjoying the new Pico Power and would like some feedback on anyone who has connected this to the HiFiMan HE-400 headphone? I'd like to know if this unit has enough current/voltage/power to drive an ortho.

how would you class AKG K601, K701 and K702?

in today's standards, medium

When people talk about clean power, good power delivery affecting sound quality, I always thought it is nonsense.

Until one day, I experience it myself. And I must say, it is not a good discovery.

For those still waiting, you have a treat, with every day i love this amp more and more.  Can't see going anywhere with a music setup and not having it attached.  I actually ordered a new portable dac to match with it last week because the all in one Fostex and carrying around the extra built in amp is just ridiculous.  I could never go back to that after living with the Pico Power for a few days.  Hope you all enjoy it as much as i do.

Justin, can you tell me if a battery of size: 46.4mm long, 26.5mm wide and 17.5mm high will fit the Pico Power?
 
cheers

[justin w.]

are you including the terminals in the length?
