Burn-in of almost all electronic audio hardware is a myth. I've even measured it. There is no change, even over 200 hours. I've just repeated this with my new DAC... same result :-). Perfect null on ADM. So, if you hear burn-in on non-mechanical items, it's purely a psychological phenomenon. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
