Your preamp and amp do not need to be turned on to break in the DAC, but you should play music through the DAC.
Burn in of new DAC
First of all, I would like to thank you all for your audiophile education. I've learned a great deal, Thanks for all the posts.
I know there has been a post recently on Burn in of equipment, I just couldn't find it. Looking to buy a new Dac, Going to try an R2R this time. Currently own a Benchmark Dac3 b. Really enjoy it and will move it to another system. Looking at the Holo audio Spring 3 (KTE), Audio GD R7 mk 2 and Denafrips Pontus 2.
I understand the need for burn in, just not sure how to do it, other than turning my amp, preamp and Dac on and maybe downloading I heart radio and letting it play for hours, plus my regular listening. Just hate to leave all those things on. (all solid state) I was just hoping to leave the new unit on, in standby mode to accomplish the burn in, but, if I remember from the forum, was told that a load would have to go through??? Thanks Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for the education. Robert TN
