| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @mr_m I'm running Qobuz, but I'm going to play with the optical cable next to see how it compares to USB. | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @arafiq That's right you did mention that. which kind of sucks because I really like the BluOS interface! To be honest with you, it's already sounding better so I'm going to sit on this setup for a little while and see how it continues to develop... | |

| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @jjss49 sorry forgot to mention speakers! Running Tannoy XT8F’s I would hope to think that my system, while not super high end, would be resolving enough to hear a very noticable difference between a $350 dac and a $1700 dac! I do hear a slight d... | |
