Topic: Babyface Pro Standalone USB power clarification

According to the manual:

"In stand-alone mode the Babyface Pro needs to be powered. You have the choice to use USB bus power by one of the numerous LiPo batteries with USB ports, sold as mobile power for your smartphone and iPad, or an external power supply."

By "external power supply" do they mean any USB charger like those used for your phone? Or do they mean the separate (non-USB) power supply that goes into the DC power supply connector?

You can run it without external power supply but it is better to have it, the DC power supply.

USB chargers are useless as you use the USB port of the Babyface for connecting to the iPad or computer.

Not useless in stand-alone mode, if you can truly use any phone charger safely, which is what I am asking
