I got an Arcam rDAC kw with the rWand for my iPod, and of course have seen lots of refenrences to the need to 'run in' a DAC for 70+ hours. I'm just puzzled why this would be needed.
The Digital part of the DAC is surely just running a mathematical algorithm, which I can't imagine changes over time...?
The analogue part...well, I guess a signal/current (or something!
runs through these parts - but really, what changes here over use???
Just wondering if anyone really knows, if this is just an urban audio myth, or ???
I'm going to leave mine running continutally for several days. By Sunday evening it should have had it's 70 hours or so, so I'll guess I'll find out for myself if I can hear the difference!
