Question on ASR Emitter II Exclusive Battery

Just wondering, the battery pack for dmitter II
is used for Line drive section of the amplifer according to its manual. I am not quite clear what this means?. Is it the preamp section that the battery pack is used for or is there a separate line drive section somewhere in the amplifier section.
The reason I am asking is that, if I use a DAC to drive the amplifier directly via direkt XLR input (bypassing pre amp section of ASR), then is there any use for the battery section?

Thanks for your input.

Agree with Casouza

Further, this is no ordinary battery operated preamp, far from it. This also applies to the Exclusive Phono.

The preamp section is the icing on the cake with the amplifier, many times you will find with exceptional preamps that by-passing them to go direct to amplifiers would be a sonic mistake.
