All digital without tubes should be left on for at least 24 hours before any critical listening is done. If you don't like it after 30 days, I would send it back pronto. I know some say that certain components take 500 hours to burn in, and it is also true that you have to get used to it - BUT, if you don't like the thing after a few weeks, let it go.
Burn In on Aurender N100H
I just acquired an Aurender N100H. It replaces a Sonos Connect modified by Wyrd4Sound. After installation, I noticed a very "digital" sound and a lot more noise than I'd been familiar with while listening to the modded Connect. The modded Connect was connected to my Schiit Audio Gumby via Digital Coax. Aurender can only connect via USB.
How long do I need to burn this in to get a sense of the quality of the Aurender? I have a 60-day return policy and if this unit doesn't improve exponentially it is going back. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar experience and how things worked out.
Also, any advice on the best USB cable for the connection between the Aurender and Gumby?
Thanks
