Somewhere between this year and last year, I encountered several topics and discussions about creating a "more complete" version of Lithium-powered amplifiers. I don't remember the details but some people were making their own versions and debated that the shortcomings of those smaller portable amps might come from issues like size limit, lack of proper power supply and when it is powered by battery the amp will be cleaner (?).
Obviously, nowadays in the market, there are portable amps that have enough juice to drive a variety of transducers to a satisfying level - namely something like iDSD, Hugo 2, and more. But I'm talking about "portable" amplifiers that will be as big as some desktop amplifiers or even wilder - I even did see a prototype of one that looked as big as my friend's Cayin-iHA6.
Are there any scientific reasons for this or it is just something like a fun goal to achieve between DIY-ers? The only slight connection I found that supports this trend is the fact that over the years several "flagship" DAPs have gotten bigger, weightier, and clunkier. It would be very interesting to hear an answer from people who make their own amplifiers here.
Sorry if this question didn't warrant creating a thread for itself, but I looked and there is no "general question" thread that I can come and ask.
