[QUOTE="Wolla, post: 1064336, member: 664"] Do you have any issues running it off USB only? Why I'm asking is that I did not benefit from an external iPower 5V PS for the Zen Dac so I sold it again. I now have the Zen Dac Signature which comes with an upgraded version of the iPower (the iPower X) and decided to use it with the Zen Dac Signature since it is part of the package. The USB ports on my Zotac Silent PC is exceptionally well behaved, but it is unfortunately not the norm. Depending on how clean your USB power is, your mileage may well vary. You can also use battery power to power the Dac, which actually sounds best to me, but it is a little impractical for full-time use and some of the decent power banks do not stay powered if the current draw is below a certain threshold. 4 fully charged rechargeable NiCad batteries sounds stunning, but maybe even less practical for constant use. Anyway, let us how what worked for you. Cheers, W. [/QUOTE]
