Hello All,
Quick question:
Anybody tried this battery before?
http://www.mahaenergy.com/imedion-9-6v-230mah-1-pack/

Or should I focus on higher mah?
I was recommended to use this battety even as the mah is only 230.

Thanks for your feedback!

I've never heard of those, but I like the concept - a higher voltage (9.6V) could slightly improve dynamics and bass control with innefficient, fullsize headphones.  As long as you didn't mind keeping one or two on the charger and swapping batteries more frequently, it could give you some sonic benefits.
 
On the other hand, if you will be using fairly efficient headphones (i.e. Oppo PM-3) or most IEMs, you wouldn't need the extra voltage and would probably better appreciate a longer play time, with less swapping of batteries.

Thank you for your response.
Will have a look at them

Did someone compare the Quickstep to Leckerton Audio UHA760 ?

 

[mitsu763]

I had both the quickstep and 760 at the same time. The Leckerton has a nice dac but little output power. The quickstep doesn't have a dac but is very clean sounding and has more power for full size headphones. Both are great but serve somewhat different purposes.

 

[mitsu763]

Forgot to mention, I also stacked the Leckerton as a dac into the quickstep for full size headphones. Sounded very nice.

Wow, so are you saying that the QuickStep can replace desktop AMP?
say some day I manage to bring an Alpha Dogs... will it serve them well?

I had the alpha dogs once and still have the quickstep.

The quickstep will drive it, but it's most definitely Italy not ideal. you have to have a lot of power to drive planars.

Why did you connect the UHA to the QS ?
the UHA does not have a line out option (but only a HP out).
- so you were "double amp'ing" (?)

Thanks, I will go for a powerful desk. amp. then.

 

[mitsu763]

I connected them out of curiosity and wanted to use the Leckerton dac with the quickstep. You are correct it is double amping but it worked fine and sounded great.

If you are planning on buying the Alpha Dogs I would get a desktop amp rather than the Quickstep. I have the Mad Dogs and yes the Quickstep will work with them but you'd be better served by a desktop amp. You can use the Leckerton as a dac for the desktop amp too.

Hey guys,
My 9Vs are dying and need to be changed soon, so I look around and I found these in ebay.

Are they any good? The high price is stopping me from buying them.

Anyone tested any of those Chinese 1200-2000mAh rechargeable 9V batteries I'm seeing on aliexpress?
