Smallest travel CPAP setup w/ Transcend Micro
Figured I couldn't keep waiting for Philips to fix the Dreamstation Gos in the recall and I took advantage of recent sales on a Transcend Micro... and ended up going on a quest to compact my travel CPAP setup as far as I could go. Introducing...

... this. It's an extremely tiny setup perfect for my backpack when I'm traveling light.
The main things were replacing the (still tiny, but bulky) AC adapter that came with the Micro. Transcend officially says it's a 19V brick, and their P4/P8 batteries that power it run at 14.8V into this thing as well. We're (basically) within the window of USB-C Power Delivery here.
The usual getting spots online can find you a USB-C to 20V 6.5x4.4mm right-angle barrel jack (mine said it was for Sony laptops) cable. Combine that with an ultra-small USB-C Power Delivery brick for a laptop (like this Anker GaNPrime 65W) and you have... well, as small as you go before you go towards shrinking the hose or shrinking the mask.
(Bonus: get a USB-C PD laptop battery bank and you're basically golden for battery power.)
For me -- a Sleepweaver Anew full-face works fairly well in my situation with an acceptable amount of leak and makes it an even tighter packing.
So far this entire setup has worked so fantastic on its first multi-day long weekend trip and I don't think I could go back to my Dreamstation Go after this... hell, all of this almost packs into the Dreamstation Go's footprint!
