Is On Ear market dying ?
Looking through this section of Head Fi it strikes me that On Ears get very little mention, it doesn't help that some On Ear related posts go to Headphones - "Full Size". At present the forum seems only about IEMs. As I look around here for something new it struck me how few new models have...- KT66

Do you let your DAP warm up ?
I have noticed recently my 901 & mini box needs about 10 mins before both channels sound correct. Coming from a trad 2 channel back ground this is not news to me, some transistor amps take weeks to warm up properly. So do you allow some warm up time before listening ? Anyone else experienced...- KT66
