I also experimented with different power sources - with a battery booster 12V battery, and another converter but with a 100mA current. The booster battery I have no idea what current it is rated. The car battery booster gave a quite unclean sound. That's all I want to comment because I abandoned it fast. Then I picked up the 100mA converter from Virgin records last week. Perhaps it's the converter or the current, the sound did come across as having more drive. But, it lacks the refinement of the stock converter that came with the Shek DAC. The sound is brighter, at least at the top, not as soothing at the Shek in a way. I call the sound from using the stock converter being "round", for lack of a better word. Somehow, I would like the sound to be somewhere in between, having enough drive and dynamics using the Virgin converter, and yet giving the better soundstaging and imaging using the stock conveter. May be a 900mA conveter?
