Break in for new DAC

I just ordered a LTA AERO DAC with Ray Reserve tubes.  I have read that this need 200/300 hours of break-in?   If so, since I have a All tube integrated amp, I really don't want to leave it on that long.  If i have my player run music into new DAC over and over, does the amp really need to be on?

 

Thanks Much

@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. yes

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.

Power conditioner filters AC but just as any piece of electronics it will generate and radiate EMI. If you look inside your furnan there are several transformers and all the components you plug into it will result in current flow thru the Furnan. Which means it will generate and radiate EMI. 
 



as a simple test you can order this gadget from amazon and measure it.
