That is the question. I don't think that we have a great answer yet.

Just order a switching regulated AC-DC adapter from Farnell for the burn in, fairly cheap too (about US$18). Hopefully it will work well.

Probably not going to help you much as this is UK plug with 230V input: http://my.element14.com/multicomp/mws893uk/adaptor-reg-adj-300ma-uk/dp/1514347
 
However, there are plenty listed on Farnell / Newark website so you might want to search your local Farnell / Newark website for a compatible model.

Initial impression, this amp is freaking forward! The details are being brought forward and the soundstage just awesome. Ive pair it with every single of my phones and it can handle it pretty well. I was afraid stepdance would thicken my mids just like the shadow or the protector ( which is nice btw) but stepdance polish my ck100 to another level lol! Loving the amp.

If you're in the UK, Maplin Electronics have a few power supplies for sale on their website which might work with the STEPDANCE.

OK, another battery question!

I have been re-reading the thread and am coming to understand the role of the the battery plays a bit better. The ones with the higher mA number have longer lasting qualities but the ones with higher voltage ratings have more power (sorry about this to the techies, I am a Luddite when it comes to this sort of stuff!).

I am going to be driving three different headphones with this amp, K701, DT990 600ohm and the sublime Etymotic ER4S would I be right in thinking it better to go for the 9.6 volt powerex rechargeable than the ipower ones which have 8.4 volts but higher mA with my headphones?

I can handle recharging batteries every day rather than compromise the sonic qualities!

Thanks for your help. Hopefully my stepdance is in the air flying to Canada as I type, Jan mailed it on Monday!

Ianmedium, I doubt whether you will hear the difference between 9.6 and 8.4 volts. (That equates with 19.2 volts and 16.8 volts after rail doubling.) Higher ma will equal greater battery life and that is where I would focus. iPower 600 ma would probably be my choice.
