Is it a general rule to burn them in for a few hundred hours? I have found that the handful of CD players (or DAC/Transport combos) I've owned seem to get better, especially in the frequency extremes (more control, less boom or sizzle).
sometimes a piece of equipment sounds worse over time, i.e., it gets bright and aanalytical and it sounds better , out of the box than after 500 hours.
Buconero, I had my SACD player upgraded and when I played it It sounded dull and dark. After a 100 hours it opened up. The new tubes had to burn in as well. Mike
These changes, if they exist, occur so gradually it's hard for me to tell if they're real. I don't believe my CD player, which surely has more than 500 hours on it by now, sounds any better than we I picked it up. Same with my tube amp.
