The pros and cons of batteries are fairly well known even in the captive audio press. I like the idea of digital conversion devices running off batteries. Field recording devices with ADCs and DACs can sound cleaner than those running off the grid. The issue gets cloudier when substantial power reserves need to be tapped by a device. The power requirements for ADCs and DACs are relatively low compared to preamplifiers, digital music players and certainly power amplifiers. Usually the preamps run off batteries sound cleaner but lose something in dynamics and transient definition. Battery development really has not advanced that much over the years and a breakthrough in this area would greatly help many things above and beyond audio.
