Break in for new DAC

@danmar123 Furman is most likely generating tremendous EMI that impacts your components. You might not hear it until you remove the furman and eliminate that noise. But it’s up to you. 

I have broken in a lot of components over the years. Typically by the time a couple hundred hours goes by you know what it sounds like. The gestalt and all the characteristics are there and it is a mater of subtile improvements... like a final polish. Subtle but important. 

@audphile1 ,

Furman power conditioners are designed to reduce,'' not create, EMI (electromagnetic interference) issues.''

This is why I have NO issues, but thanks for looking out for me.

so by placing the Furnan power conditioner as close as possible to your electronics you actually reduce EMI. I understand the logic now. I’m over and out.

I don't think that's the case but, it's not interfering with the OPPO. I have Copper sheet & would've made a barrier if there was a problem.
