I just want to share my experience with my Schiit Bifrost's performance. I made a thread in the AUDIO section re: DACs before i bought my DAC and asked if burning-in would really improve the SQ of the DAC. I was a bit skeptical at first but i did it anyway just to prove to myself if it would indeed help improve the sound or not.
So, After 120+ hours of non-stop burning-in, i therefore conclude:
YES. GRABE.
Im not an audiophile and im not familiar with the terms, but the highs were noticeably crisper and much clearer than before. Yan kasi ang reklamo ko kasi gusto ko crisp at walang dumi ang kalansing (especially sa hi-hat, cymbals and letter S sound sa vocals).
The mids - anlaki ng improvement. Pati yung paghiwalay ng each instrument (ano ba term dun) mas gumanda. Yung vocals parang kumakanta mismo sa harap mo. Ive never heard my simple system this good.
Bass department - i cant say since im not paying too much attention since walang acoustic treatment ang listening area ko.
Overall i was impressed and surprised at the same time. Burning-in your DAC will improve the overall sound
I've read in other forums that this DAC needs 300hrs of burn-in. Magi-improve pa daw. Let's see after 180 hours
