Does anyone did burn-in their portable player before? Let's say you have an old portable player which has bought at 1 year ago with more than 3000 hours usage (including burn-in). Then compare yours to a new same model portable player again, does anyone here did that before? Is there any different in sound quality improvement?

Hello sifus,

Looking for a new DAP to replace my good old Hisoundaudio Rocoo P. I love it's sound signature; very clear, airy and has big soundstage.
Is there any player that has a similar sound signature or even better?

There's so many different brands out on the market i'm really confused

Looking at the price range under RM1k but willing to go up to RM2k if it's worth it. Also, is there any good stores I can test out?

any help is much appreciated 
cheers
