I remember there was a guy in Chicago (Chig?) who covered Bidat to battery power – I juts do not remember already what was his comments. Chig, if you still around then say Meow.
I personally do not believe in buttery powered DAC like Bidat (IDAT). Bidat sucks 29W and it is a lot for battery power. Also, what battery power does? A few years ago I converted my CD transport to battery power – and lost all dynamics…. was not good. Surely DACs are sensitive to bad electricity and Bidat is VERY sensitive. But isn’t it better to address the problem with electricity globally instead of putting one single unit of the chains on battery power? I would not mention that Bidat sound better when it completely hot and it need a few hours to reach the cruse temperate…. How long time will you heat it on battery power?
A few years back, what I had IDAT-M, although I did not like how it sounded I put THAT DAC on battery power. There were not differences…. So,l I do not buy inot it....
