Does a new cd transport require break-in time?

“Carbon copy”.
They answered my query through another correspondent’s  email, rather than answering me directly.  Strange.

Almarg,

Here is the final answer:

“After speaking with the engineers on this one again it turns out that the < that is in the spec sheet of the CXC is a printing error and should not be there.”

Well, here’s the latest chapter in the saga of Schiit service.  

They sent me a label which I was supposed to place on the package of the Gungnir Multibit I was returning because it didn’t work.  Very graciously, they offered me a new replacement, even though it was beyond the 15 day return period. So, I carefully placed the label on the package and brought it to a FedEx office.  Schiit said as soon as they received the tracking information from FedEx they would send me a new unit.  I waited a week.  No indication of them sending me anything.  I called and they said there was no evidence I had sent it, even though I followed their instructions implicitly,  
By this time they had received my unit. And, they tell me there’s nothing wrong with it!!  And,what’s more, they couldn’t possibly send me a replacement because of “scratches and gouges” on the old one.  Hardly!! I had just gotten iit.
So, it must have been my imagination that the many times I tried to run it, it was silent. 
Thiis could go back and forth for a long time.
