I have always felt that acclimation plays a very large role. I think that manufacturers sometimes specify long burn in times in order to entice a purchaser to continue acclimating past the return period.
DAC break-in...
I am ready to make the move from a cdp to a transport plus DAC. One of the DAC's I am interested in is notorious for a lengthy break-in. Taken into consideration my families listening habits, the shear amount of hours I am reading for expected settling is slightly disconcerting.
So is the break-in hours I am reading about synonymous with all brands...is it expected across the board regardless of price? Is there a price threshold where this is mitigated or performed by the manufacturer?
Hoping to learn here...TIA

What nonsense. Break in or forming of dielectric in electrolytic capacitors is only necessary after lengthy storage (many years) http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~reese/electrolytics/tec2.pdf |
Roberjamin and a few others are correct seperate everything is good but there are great players out there . I have a Lumin D1 player which use dual Wolfsons best dacs and optional Much much better power supplies that Transform this award winning player to something up there with many $8-10k units myself bought the Linear Tube Audio Linesr 12 volts powersupply a very good power cord is instrumental . I am using a Verastarr Grand illusion Dual Copperfoil. Synergistic research I don’t care for much of their hype ad ons. But their Blue fuses are very good . these little things count . MojoAudio make a Very good Linear powersupply I may try Getting back to a player you have a external hard drive plugged in the Lumin library app is Excellent. plus it has a Roon, Tidal,with full MQA capabilities for under $3k not counting the power cord or upgraded Umbilical cord which is also Verastarr. You have a versatile music setup , even digital music is possible . Their is other players also. But this player is very analog sounding in many ways. |
