i agree that if chris made his dac w/a built-in trickle-charger, 95% of the work is done. all i was suggesting is an outboard tap for the p/s of your choice. it could be a wall-wart, a lab-grade p/s, a typical audiophile-mfr-approved p/s, etc.

completely agree

Chris,

Just got my dAck! v.2 with high output and high resolution options!  FedEx left it between the storm and front doors.  

Plugged it in and played it long enough to confirm everything works (it did).  How long should the first charging be?

Thanks bunches.

Jeff,

We usually send the units out fully charged but there is slight depletion during shipping which is natural.  It should be ready to go within 15-20 minutes of setting it up and you can run it for 8 hours right there.

The batteries are fresh so they'll take some time to condition.  They start out needing more charge before switching to float at first so it'll take 10-15 charges before you start to get really rapid refresh cycles.  After that they'll recharge in less time than your listening cycle.

Enjoy

-Chris
