Tips for burn-in
The use of the burn-in cable is very straightforward. The
burn-in cable is used to form the capacitors and to condition
the rest of the circuitry. The method for burn-in is to use
normal resolution music, as higher resolution causes more
heat due to the higher demand on the system. Also, use a
normal listening volume, as the higher volume will have a
higher power consumption therefore more heat will be
generated. While burning in the Max, both the balanced and
the single ended components are being affected and burned
in.
The burn-in time can be from 100 to 200 hours and the
burn-in doesn't have to be continual. You can power off the
player and continue the burn-in process after a few days. It
is also not mandatory to use the burn-in cable, we supply it
as a convenience for when you are not listening to the Max
and you would like to get your dap conditioned as soon as
possible. You can also just listen to the player and enjoy the
music as your player goes through this process while playing
through IEMs or headphones.
