I just received my CX's yesterday evening. After letting them reach room temperature overnight, I've begun the burn-in process. Actually, they didn't sound too bad straight out of the box. That might be because I went straight balanced. I'm about 15 hours in & I already hear improvement. I'm not ready to mess around with the filters just yet. It's just too soon in the game & I really want to assess what they are fully like without.
One thing of note: The leather headband now says, Drop + Dan Clark Audio. Couldn't ask for better proof of current production!
derek.lobMy serial number is #1000. Received on 12/6. Curious because only 612 have been sold. Drop has them in stock in surplus for the holidays I would assume so I guess I just got the luck of the draw? I have no clue as to what their selection process is like. Just randomly grab a box & ship when they receive an order?
MaverickAHI saw a video of a guy getting a tour in Dan Clark Audios factory. Seems they are already partially burnt in from factory. It was for the factory to be able to better match drivers so that both sides in the headphones would sound the same.
