Hey everyone! Recently purchased the Fiio K11 and wanted to ask about DAC burn in time. Is this a real thing? And if so, how should one do it, and for how long in order to experience the full potential of the DAC/AMP? This is my first one :)

Burn in is not a thing in anything solid state.
I can somewhat believe that there is a burn in period for stuff that moves and needs to be loosened up a bit. I can even buy that certain amps that need to be operated at certain temp (tubes and class A) may need a few warm-up cycles to settle in. But nothing solid state should have any burn in period.
If the manufacturer is not shipping their product in the best state, I don’t want it.
