Dac clock
« on: 21 Apr 2022, 04:14 pm »
Hi everyone!

From cold I mean or say from standby how long does it take a dac clock to reach optimum operating temperature? The reason I ask is I am thinking of a tube output dac like Musical Paradise so obviously I can't leave it on 24/7.

Thanks!

There's 2 warmup stages.  First the tubes themselves warm up, that's pretty fast, maybe 15 minutes.  Then the transformers have to warm up, that's usually a little longer, probably 30 minutes from initial turn-on.
