Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

[2ndLiner]

Hi @Zaphod Beeblebrox ,

Maybe this helps ease the “audiophile nervosa” a bit: you don’t actually need to play music for burn-in to happen, simply having the unit powered on is enough. Unlike interconnects, the ~1.5" of copper PCB tracing that actually carries signal has so little dielectric involvement that any “signal-path burn-in” effect would be vanishingly small, if noticeable at all.

Hopefully that takes a bit of pressure off while you’re traveling

That is fantastic to hear here, Emile, and goes a long way in quieting my version of "audiophile nervosa" I ask the following at the risk of exposing my audiophile ludditis one more time: As here and in private conversation many have reported, over several months the Olympus continues to improve SQ-wise, what else us "burning in?"
