Burn-in info for Sony XA5400ES


Hi all,
I just received my new 5400ES and wonder about burn-in process: from this forum, onwers suggest 250-400 hrs break-in. But there are 2 DACs (for RBCD and SACD) so should I need to break-in using both SACD and RBCD (say 250 hrs per each) ? Also does it matter which output (XLR vs RCA) that need to break-in ?
Thanks

Buco, you've either never purchased a component new or you have tin ears. Break in has been substantial on several new pieces I have purchased, most noticeably speakers,but secondly on digital players. If you dont feel (hear) that way fine,but you've managed to call a large segment of this web site "foolish" with your sweeping generalization. Many manufacturers advise specifically about break-in, are they also fools? As to the original poster, my experience was that this player really starts to settle down after a good 100 hours.
