Burning Burn in question

I need to burn in a DAC/preamp that apparently needs a few 100hrs to come to live. My question is do I need to connect it to a poweramp and actualy play music during burn in? I would think that if there is no downstream load there will be voltage on the outputs but no current drawn. So you do in fact need to play music. Am I wrong?

I'm more concerned about blowing my speakers. I just did this a few weeks ago and was out $1,000 for new midrange drivers.

Thanks for the advise. Not sure I want to both turn the poweramp on AND play at 100% volume :), but I'll hook up the DAC/Pre to my poweramp, keep it turned off and crank the volume on the DAC all the way up.
