Tim, I have tried all the burn in Cd's available and nothing works quite like the Purist Audio disc. It's much more expensive than the others but to me worth the extra money! I once broke in cardas golden cross speaker cables in 72 hours with this disc which is a bear to break in with just playing music and usually takes up to 2 months. Your Esoteric player is quite capable of high resolution once fully run in so not to worry, just keep playing it. I would also suggest shutting it off one in a while for a good 12 hours to let the circuit discharge. This will also improve the sound.
