While trying to steer a friend in the right direction on powering DPA 4080's with the smallest from factor possible for
situations, the idea came to me that - wouldn't it be great if someone offered a mod to the PIP on your M-10 or R-07 or what have you, so that the plug in power voltage would provide 8-ish volts instead of whatever the standard is (I think 4.5 or 5V is the highest PIP I've read about) and I think only 3V in most cases.
It sure would be nice to be able to plug your 4061's or 4080's straight into your deck and eliminate the extra cables and batteries that come with a battery box or external preamp.
