I recently converted my DAC from 'wall wart' to a battery pack of 8xAA.
And while I havent' gotten into the weeds with it, I believe I DO prefer the batteries.
Next step may be a AGM or 'other' lead-acid battery of maybe 6 or 7 amp hours. That would provide nearly unlimited (for the application) instantanous current and make it necessary to install a fuse of some sort. Original wall-wart is 2 amp, so I guess that's where I'd start.....I'd use a ceramic / filled type. Good self damping if that matters and meets spec for such a device.
Some interesting wire choices from battery TO device are possible. The Canare is easily available while some of the single crystal copper won't break the bank, especially considering how LITTLE of it I actually need.

Is it the lack of dynamics from the batteries that you prefer pg??

A fair question which will require some serious listening. Maybe in a few days when I have some slack time. Lots of irons in the fire prevent anything approaching 'serious' listening.
Right now? Must g start setting up the Grill (Charcoal) and maybe work on the BBQ box......I need to SAND the top of the lid and PAINT for the winter. Just the tip of the'berg.
