Good deals from AudioAdvisor

The Music Hall DAC, after having been on for the better part of the last 2 weeks is sounding better, especially out of the XLR inputs. So I guess burn-in is a factor, and a now noticeable one, too. 'Pologies for borrowing audiophile-speak here, but the DAC presents deeper blacks, greater stage depth, and more air. Now let's not get carried away. Yes, it's noticeable, but only in a direct A/B comparison. In any case, this is something I didn't hear at all before and I'm wondering if it will get much better.

So there's my dilemma: I'm running into my 30-day return time limit. Do I keep the DAC in the hopes that it will improve considerably more or do I return it and get one that better meets my needs. One of the things I'm after is more detail as my gear tends to be on the dark side, and I can't really say this DAC does this, or at least not yet. So what would you do?

My Audio Note is the 1.1x. It was not a kit.

Mr.P, that's certainly a nice DAC, but I really prefer one with more features like XLR and upsampling. Also, I'm not sure you'd want any of my preamps.

Glad to hear you're getting some improvement. I found that my "percieved" burn in levelled off after 'bout 75 hours or so. I never woulda thought it would take so long, but ya juz never know. I find my DAC to be very involving indeed to a point where I can (and have) wasted a good part of the day just listening to it.

Cheers,
