Thanks, but the Schiit-branded wall-wart is just a transformer that sends 16 VAC to the little amp. There's a decent looking rectifier and filter inside the tiny little box already. Maybe there's more harm than good coming from cutting the circuit traces etc. and connecting an external DC supply, but I'll noodle on that idea.

16vac?? Are you sure??

I don't see any problem with feeding it DC.
16VAC is about 22 volts DC (I think you just multiply it by the square root of 2). So, maybe an 18-24 volt DC would work.
So, if you feed it clean DC, it doesn't really have to do much to it, i.e. it's filtering will be mostly irrelevant.
