Any opinion on burn in for this amp, is it the same as with the dap's ?
Just keep a headphones plugged in and play music with it. It can run 24/7 without warming upAny opinion on burn in for this amp, is it the same as with the dap's ?

Yep that's what I intended anyway but it sounds so good straight out of the box (though since it's an Amazon open box unit I don't know how much play time it has had before).
That is true, TA-ZH1ES doesn't change too dramatically from burn-in
Gave in and ordered one on UK Amazon. Open box was already reduced £300 and another 20% off with a free 30 days trial Prime membership made it almost affordable
Thanks Purk,The ZH1ES is a great combo IMO. It does a lot of everything very well. My only criticism of it is the overly warmth and smoothness nature of the amp. I just wish the ZH1ES can have a little more dynamic punch and explosiveness compared to better amplifiers. Still as a whole package, it is an instant winner if you prefer slightly warmer and extremely smooth sounding amp. I wouldn't recommend driving HE-6 or HEK for matter out of this amp. Yes, it can get the job done but not as well compared to bigger and beefier amplifiers. The HD800 does sound great out of the this amp. I personally don't like the Z1R & ZH1ES combination.
Thanks, 800 or 800s?The hd800 is a good choice.
