after my Aesthetix Romulus CDP was unplugged for 6 months, I called Aesthetix and was told one month on standby would bring it back to full performance, plus playing CD's of course...I would call the manufacturer and ask...can't think of a reason the engineers who designed it would mislead you if it really only took a few minutes...
DAC break-in...
I am ready to make the move from a cdp to a transport plus DAC. One of the DAC's I am interested in is notorious for a lengthy break-in. Taken into consideration my families listening habits, the shear amount of hours I am reading for expected settling is slightly disconcerting.
So is the break-in hours I am reading about synonymous with all brands...is it expected across the board regardless of price? Is there a price threshold where this is mitigated or performed by the manufacturer?
Hoping to learn here...TIA
