Could a cellphone reserve battery-pack (reserve/mobile battery-pack charger) be used as a powersupply for theDacMagic XS?
But the again - what is the point to have 2 gizmos (3 with the cellphone) in the pocket.....

They should insert a small battery pack for 3-4 hours play IMO........

You could do that but you would need some splitter cable so that data lead could go to the OTG cable from the phone.

$189 seems rather pricey for most people who will just plug this into their PC to get a little better audio fidelity...
