Pro 'Burn in' time.

[JoeW]

My D220 is sounding fabulous except it's passing into rough bit dropping after hours of run time. All I have to do is power cycle the amp and all is well. Changing the track that was playing made no improvement. This has happened that last two times I ran it for several hours continuously. It didn't feel warm beyond normal and I didn't have the presence of mind to check its temperature via the readout. I'm going to run it today to see if I can duplicate this. I'm running via a Mac Mini through Audirvana and USB.

Hi JoeW, that's a bit off topic here in this burn-in topic.

This could be a malfunction in hardware. If I were you I'd report this to Devialet directly. Perhaps check beforehand if any errors are stored in the 220P's memory. See: https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/artic...ation-Menu

If possible you could try a different computer and USB cable before reporting this to Devialet just to rule those out.

Thanks Antoine, it occurred to me that since the fault required many hours of burn in that others doing burn in might have also run into this. I have opened a ticket and I do have a PC enabled to easily run the D220. No fault was reported in the information menu.
