Running a continuous signal from a PC for the designated time should do the job. I did the same while burning in the V Caps in my DAC by playing a variety of CDs on my transport on repeat for 500 hours.
Burning In a New DAC
Sorry for a potentially stupid question, but...
I just bought a new USB DAC. The dealer told me that it will need about 500 hours to be fully burned in. Can this be accomplished by running a signal into it from my PC even if i am not outputting the signal to my pre-amp -- i.e., my pre-amp will be off so the rest of the system isnt running? It seems to me that this should work as the DAC will be converting the signal even though nothing is coming out of the outputs.
Any thoughts?
