Your ears don't adjust to sibilance though.

no but they adjust to a sound signature.

Absolutely. I get used to a new signature in ~10 minutes, so it kinda starts sounding natural after a while, it is the way human brain works.

I have experienced that on high performance mode playback on stock fiio player, x7ii gets warm very soon

is it normal ? i am playing 24bit flacs and some .dff files

Yes, absolutely.

It is normal, depending on your ambient temperature.

ambient temp is quite cool here, its winter but player getting too warm and so soon is unusual for me

What volume level, what power amp, do you have Wifi on, BT on, and are you using high gain?

Mine is a cool potatoe with AMP3A, on HG, at about 100 / 120 volume, but I have wifi disabled, BT disabled.

...and compression level.

Oh yes!

iDSD Files can also make a DAP much warmer.

Flac files and some are 24bit, high gain, high performance mode, wifi on

i will try wifi off and see if it keeps it running cool

That’s what we usually call the “burning” period no worries, it depends with a few things but its pretty normal...

 

[Brooko]

It does have a (pretty short) burn-in time though, at first it was giving me sibilance, which went away pretty quickly. The instrument separation improved at the same time.

You do realise FiiO has every unit tested (basically put on a burn-in cycle) so they can check performance and measurements, as well as catching any defects before they are packed and shipped? So any further burn-in you think you are experiencing is simply psycho-acoustic.

Do they actually do a very lengthy test with all the devices they produce? And I can't explain sibilance disappearing through psycho-accoustics.

cool I trust you guys experience than mine
