Should I switch to a battery system?

I'm moving to Australia from the US. I was planning on shipping my Magnepan MMGs and Bryston 3B-ST amp out there. The amp I would have converted to 230V after I arrive. The thing is, I've been fighting a power line noise problem for a very long time. Now it looks like it was due to a high-impedance ground. I know first-hand that AC power is a huge issue and I would so much prefer to never deal with it again and use batteries. That would mean not shipping my gear to Australia.

The question is, how will performance compare to what I have now? Can I create a truly isolated system that still has dynamics and slam?

I only need to power a low-power computer and amp. I don't use a preamp and my Proton DAC is USB-powered.
