Guys

Is anyone using one of these to feed their DAC?

No affiliation to the seller....just saw it on Audiogon and then did some research.

I have to imagine that given that its HDD based and battery powered, it would be about as close to perfect as you can get for a (stock) transport!

I would think you are better off taking a regular transport, letting it's AC power the transport and control and then powering the digital circuitry off the batteries.  That should be an excellent way to accomplish battery powered transport.

I would think that entirely eliminating A/C would be a good thing?  

Also, the iRiver is hard drive based...which is thought (by many) to be a superior mechanism for digital music retrieval.
