Switching to battery power


Hi

Has anybody switched their audio system either wholly or partially to battery power? I've read that some folks have had good results using Goal Zero power stations for doing this, but I'm sure a couple of quality deep cycle and good full wave inverter would work no?

Please share if you have tried it and what your finding were.

Thanks

Only good if the equipment you intend putting on battery "has voltage regulators for every stage of it’s design". Then everything stays as the designer calculated for it to work optimally.

If no voltage regulators are present then the circuit design parameters will over under voltage depending on battery charge, this is not good for sound as the circuit/s will not be working optimally

My ASR Emitter II Exclusive power amp runs off a battery that's charged by two power supplies. The sound is so clean that my other components are only filtered by a PS Audio passive line conditioner and some Akiko Audio tuning sticks. Milwaukee makes a lithium battery generator that produces a pure sign wave. Here's a review, https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/60304-surprising-budget-audiophile-product/
My new DAC uses super-capacitors that are said to act like batteries.  When I go from stand-by to on, it takes a bit over 2 minutes for the super-capacitors to charge.  Why don't designers use these more?
I use a Thales turntable and have never been happier.

I have never heard ASR but a friend whose opinion I highly respect on these matters says it’s the best sounding integrated out there.
