SACD BREAKING-IN EXPERIENCE................

I am currently running in a Sony DVP NS900 DVD/SACD player.
I've read it takes or can take 300 plus hours for this machine to sound at it's best-I am only at approx. 120 hours.
My questions for those who have been through similar experiences.

1.Is there a difference between how the SACD and the CD replay breaks in i.e do they improve by the same amount.

2.Is the break-in gradual or is there a sudden improvement at some point.

3.How does the sound differ during this process.

I'll be interested to see how my experience compares with fellow Audiogoners.

As an extra does anybody know the difference between SACD replay on Sony players obviously I wouldn't expect my machine to compare to an SACD-1 but has anybody good experience with the Sony range in general?
Thanks in advance

Jim,
Yes I had read your review before(both here and at Audiocom's site a while back) but I guess in a way I was relating it to your new Black Gates etc.
A very detailed review thanks.
I'm going to follow your path and see what I find.
I do find it very interesting though your comments about the difference between CD and SACD-I'm a right in saying you are finding a noticeable but subtle difference-I have read that a lot but also others saying SACD slays CD.
Care to comment?
Thanks
