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 :)

    World is burning already, don’t do it to your gear. Yeah probably some caps might load some electricity in them, tubes might do what tubes do with heat etc. But I don’t think that anything else would need too many minutes to be ready to listen to. Brain EQ of course activates after some time. But something like burning in cables is… How… First they market their cables to have the least things to keep the audio signal coming from your source to your equipment but then they offer service to plow this road from what? Don’t know but for few hundred bucks it’s done.
