Looking for Linear Power Supply for my Mytek Brooklyn DAC. Suggestions?

Anyone ran the Mytek Brooklyn on just batteries. Maybe buying 2

Cheap way to get the ultimate power for it, for just $28

Best will be battery as Mytek has said in the manual, (and best battery is Lithium-Ion rechargeable).

This I think will give around 6hr before a recharge is needed.
But it has a 2.1mm plug center positive, you’ll need a 2.1mm to 2.5mm converter for it to plug into the Mytek.

I recommend these to my Lightspeed Attenuator customers over the supplied linear power supply, they love them.

George - thanks
I really hadn't considered a battery of that size. When I initially thought of battery power, I thought of motorcycle size batteries and recharging them in the garage. With your idea, if the battery would last 5-6 hours and I could recharge them on the Kitchen circuit, which is 5 feet away from my music room, this would be, inexpensive and great sound quality.
One of the best preamps I've heard is the Dodd Audio (battery). I have a Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena phono preamp (battery/wall wart option), and all of these have preformed very well. I'm trying to remove all wall warts from the same electrical circuit from my music room. After changing the power supply, to the Mytek, I have the Google fiber and the MacBook Air power supplies to evaluate.

Yes do remove all smp wall warts, ok if the are linear ones’
Unplug your laptop charger, desk top computer, tv etc etc, and anything that has a smp.

And this is my big I’ll let you in on, the big one nobody I know knows about, if you have a solar roof array the inverter box injects massive amount of square wave noise back into the household wiring there are 2 switches to turn that one off. the AC and the DC one

I know it’s a bit of a ritual to do just to have a serious listen, but you wait till you hear your system when you’ve done all that, and it then sounds good any time of day, instead of just sometimes sounding good, just hope none of your system runs smp’s.

I use a Teddy Pardo on my Chord Qutest.
Really worthwhile upgrade.

Chose a TP as it looks good in my rack...seriously.
Those sBooster things were U.G.L.Y.

Two suggestions I find very interesting and helpful from George. For one, it’s really better to clean your power by isolating from SMPS devices first than just adding any power conditioning or exotic LPS’s and power cords. Secondly, the battery option does make sense. I am going to try one with a bigger capacity (mAh) though so it lasts longer. While a bit pricier, still beats the boutique LPS brands out there by far, not including the power cords I will be tempted to buy those with.
