First world problems. Buy a cheap pair of powered speakers you can maybe repurpose or buy some cheap tubes you can use while the DAC settles in.
Breaking (burning) in new DAC
I have a Denafrips Venus2 on order. Everything I read says the DAC needs significant time to achieve optimal performance. I have downstream gear with some fancy tubes that I would like to spare & also waste fewest electrons in this process.
What would theoretically be the way to burn in the DAC given these objectives?
