The purpose of this paper is to call attention to the
changes in audible and measurable performance
that occurs to any DAC over a 24-hour period. Listening
to a cold digital device (any DAC that has been
unplugged for one hour or more) will significantly
shortchange the experience and negatively impact
the desired outcome. However, a 24-hour warm-up
period can – and most often will – significantly
improve DAC performance. Moreover, comparisons
between a suitably warm DAC and one that is cold
can result in invalid findings.
