Yes, I am using a 12V SLA battery. A LT1086CT-5 5V regulator is used for the 5V that feeds the SB2's main voltage input. I am also feeding the 12V off the battery directly into the SB2, as a replacement for the 14V internal switching supply that feeds the critical 5V and 3.3V internal regs that power the DAC, SPDIF, etc. I have plenty to post about all of this soon, but for now let me say that the improvement is amazing! I have modded the analog output stage as well, and the results are telling me that an external dac is not needed now! :-) Slim Devices certainly has a nice product here (at an affordable price), but it can be taken to a whole new level of performance with mods, which I am planning to offer soon. Now, back to listening for me... -- Vinnie R.
