MSB BREAK IN PERIOD

My Analog DAC, Analog Power Base, Dual Transport power base and Universal Media Transport V is here.

Took me 3 hours to install.
playing continuously for about 3 hours.

first 20 minutes bass absent, slowly fleshing out , but not quite there yet.
sounds forward , resolution is excellent,slightly bright tops compared to my Wadia 521/571 .

what was your breakin period experience and how long till it settled?

IMO, SS digital players should be left on overnight before any critical listening. Be a little patient.

My Esoteric SACD player took a couple of hundred hours to break in. My Wyred4Sound dac took about 100 hours. Patience is a virtue.

Hello you might use a BURNIN CD for best and faster achievement at least 2 or 3 days a week, after a month you should notice some improvement...

I have a older MSB Nelson DAC and I remember it took at least 100 hours for the stuff to break in. Sounds better after 50hrs. Then really opens up later on :-)
