Dave, The question that I have is this; what is the cost to have my Mach2 Mini modified. Whether the money is going to you, or going to Mach2 Music,this money is still coming out of my pocket. Also, what is the time frame to get my Mach2 Mini modified?
IF folks don't charge their battery and the Mac Mini goes down hard, Mach2 can't be held responsible. Blah, blah, blah.Darrell
That is how people should use it, but sometimes people get "creative". My point is we will need a disclaimer. Apple nor Mach2 will provide a guarantee.
This may be a dumb question, but it will clearly show my lack of knowledge/expertise: would the BatteryBUSS also be powerful enough to power a DAC (say a Tranquility SE just as an example ) along with a Mac Mini?Although I would guess that this would also require changes to the power supply of the DAC?With the interest in powering DAC boards and USB/SPDIF interfaces off battery (and I know first hand how much better my JKeny modified HiFace sounded powered off battery), this would seem like a real winner....Randy
Count me in for one.David
What does the BatteryBuss do? Does it have a battery? If not, is it designed for a specific battery? Does it charge the battery? If so, what kind of charging circuit does it use? Does it filter the battery supply? Does it regulate to 12v precisely or output in the 13 to 14V range? Can it regulate voltage down to 5V or 3.3V. Can it be configured for a split +/-12v?I'm just trying to figure out what this does that my SLA battery/charger/filter/regulator setup doesn't do.Russ

Dave, What type of battery do you recommend for the buss? A car battery? Any idea what such a battery would cost? Thanks
You don't want to use anything other than an activated glass mat (AGM) type battery IMO. They are rugged, do not out gas, can be mounted in any orientation and are not finicky like some other batteries when it come to charging. You MUST have a battery that does not out gas when using one indoors. Regular lead acid batteries generate gases that can be explosive - not the thing you want indoors. Plus the gas is highly corrosive and will corrode anything around it.Dave Such as an Optima Battery?
