Guys has anyone considered using dual 18650 batteries in a portable headphone amp/dac? I mean if they can handle short bursts of 200+ watts then it seems continuous 1w of output at 32ohms shouldn't be unfeasible, right? Maybe this is wrong as can be, I don't know much about batteries and resistance etc, someone educate me! Why don't we see 18650 batteries in portable audio?

Oh damn really?! How does it fare? Has it caught on? Were they the first and only? How many batteries? Are they running in series or parallel? Is there a specific brand of batteries they recommend? What batteries does it come with?

Very interesting

right. when i had the hugo, i had the same curiosity. if i remember correctly the henix has the wires soldered. you imagine the hugo TT with 4 batteries and two 100.000 microfarad capacitors
just for curiosity see this amplifier with 4 18650 batteries https://eu.abyss-headphones.com/col...io-fully-balanced-battery-headphone-amplifier
i think that, in our days, with 8650 batteries and smps it is stubborn to continue with large toroidal and linear power supply

Aldo sent to us these two fine atomizers of his and in perfect shape just like that, with no questions asked or strings attached. Kudos, sir! Such acts are the reason why the HF community is what it is.

Clouds from Zeus are a bit muted vs Ammit, but holy cow this thing hasn't leaked a drop and I have no idea what would I have to do to see one. What a pleasant quality of life improvement!

Good luck. that Ammit you've sent is a blast. No leaks at all, quite the improvement in comparison to my 25. Perhaps mine was faulty from the start.
