I shouldnt use those stations as they use switching noisy inverters.Apologies if this has been asked and answered.
I noticed that SQ of my HMS/DAVE setup depends on many things including which power outlet I use for the HMS.
It sounds best when I connect the HMS to a different power line (not a dedicated HiFi 8AWG that the rest of my system is powered from).
The worst is when DAVE and HMS are both connected to the Niagara 3000 conditioner.
At first it appears counter intuitive, but could be explained by a theory the Rob Watts floated regarding a noise path between the HMS and DAVE through the mains.
Anyhow, I am about to explore the battery route.
Already ordered the Bixpower 12V one, but now considering getting a bigger one with a built-in inverter, something like this

It is about the same cost as the Bixpower, but more convenient, in my opinion.
Question: does anyone have an opinion on potential SQ differences between the battery and battery powered inverter?
The bixpower is so good cause it can be connected using its 'raw' battery cells which are quiet without DC-DC conversion stage.
