| How long does a DAC take to burn in? As others have said it really depends on the unit and design and really more than anything the capacitors used. Also keep in mind as most Dacs get left on all the time it can help breaking in caps to cycle the until off and on from time to time. | |

| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? grm no reason to set it to a lower sampling frequency unless you prefer the sound, it shows up lower than 96 for me I assume because Auralic doesn't support MQA. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank I realize this is your thread and I have enjoyed it immensely but I would ask you very respectfully to please refrain from political commentary. More than ever these days audio is an escape for me. Thank you. |
