Looking for full-sized battery powered headphone amplifier

Why?

Batteries are inferior in lots of ways. Primarily, having to replace the battery. They're expensive and you don't want to get suckered into replacing some proprietary battery for hundreds of dollars every few years.

If you really want to do this, you can DIY a battery pack for any amp. A few car batteries and some other parts will power one.

Though I'm not sure why you'd want to. A well-filtered transformer isn't any different from a battery, except it costs less and you don't have to replace it. There's no advantage in cost or performance to having a battery.
