I got maybe 50 hours on my player. Thanks it needs a little more warmth. What interconnect are you using.
Hi: Beware that once you will wish to use digital inputs e.g. with server for hirez downloads and ripped CD's - you have two digital inputs. One coaxial will take all PCM formats (not DSD) another USB also work with PCM only and more importantly does not accept audiostream with sampling rate above 96 kHz - its not good!!! We have a customer with this unit and it took us a phone call to France to clarify why our server cannot do what is suppose to.

Sunce this episode - we automatically contact DAC manufacturers directly to find out what their DAC can do and how we can maximize output from our Musica Pristina servers.

Otherwise CD2S is excellent CD Transport/DAC
@ Calvinj,, Man-0-man, get ready, The 2s goes thru some horrible changes when Its burning in!, you will notice a nice improvement at 300 hours, then 350 hours, I believe all the small improvements are done as well!I am useing the Taralabs zero gold i/c 1-meter,, the 2s will sound warmer at the end of the burn-in cycle, If its enough warmth for you, I do not know?, LOL!, The 2s does not even have a soundstage till 280 hours!, I know all this, I just broke my player in!, I notated on paper every thing!, To me, Taralabs sound good on the Ayon players, All of the Ayon players!, A much cheaper i/c that is warm is the Taralabs, The one, and the 0.8 cable,, post back, you are the only person I have talked to that got his player nearly the same time I did!, cheers!
@ spectron, Thanks for the info!, I use my player as a cd/transport/dac only right now, I am glad of that bit of info you gave us,I will defiantly keep that in mind., cheers!
Thanks for the input. I use my cp800 as my dac. It is rally good to my ear. The cp800 is brand new as well. It only has about 60 hours on it. I have to burn in both units before I make any changes. I will be trying some mit and some tara labs in the next few weeks to see how it mates with my equipment. I have sonus faber liutos. I have cp800 classe. I have a classe ca 2200. Ayon cd2s. I clarus crimson speaker and power cables. I will be switching things up and around pretty soon. Thanks for your input. The ayon cd2s is a great player. Smooth and musical.
