"Benching" the DNX 5120
Is there any advantage to "benching" the DNX 5120 by hooking it up to a 12volt power supply and getting to know how it operates before install? I will be installing later after the temps start to get warmer since I have no heater in my garage. I thought I could go ahead and install the firmware update and pair the unit to my phone. I would not have it attached to any speakers so is there a risk of damage since there would be no load on the amp? Good idea or bad?
