A few days ago I had to replace my sound card in my HTPC because stupid BIOS flash killed my card. I replaced it with exact same model.
It sound a little muffled. Spongy. Lost air and openness. Not as 3-dimensional as before. The dynamic range is decreased. It's a brand new card straight outta the box.
So I have been burning it in.... About 10 hours passed. Starting to sound less bad.
Oh I guess I need to continue burning it in...
I know the DAC's do require break-in. I guess same law applies to the sound card. Essentially, it IS the DAC after all.
Pull out your notebook and jot it down. Something to learn for today.
