CD transport warmup

It takes about one hour warmup before my Cyrus CD t transport really starts to shine. No matter how long the system has been on with other sources, I have to play the transport for an hour before it reveals its true form.
I’m wondering what it is that has to “wake up.” Is it the power cord? The mechanism (unlikely,) my ears? or what?

If your unit is truly 'off' your situation would be normal, I think, IME anyway. But I've never used this unit.

If it does not totally shut off, but goes into a standby mode, I don't know, you'd think that is what a standby mode is for. Personally, unless it generates a lot of heat, I'd just leave it on.

+1… leave it on. You will not need a CD player much longer and as long as it is not spinning the electronics will last for a long time.

actually CDs are making a comeback I knew this was going to happen right after LP started to make it come back that's why companies are still making CD players and transports.
