Ayre C-5xe Break In Period?

Yesterday I received notice that my new C-5xe is expected to arrive in a week or so. I'm hosting a comparison of various CD players in the middle of the month. Does anyone have experience with the amount of break in time for the Ayre? Obviously, I don't wish to run a semi-strict shootout with it sounding less than its best. Thanks!
