9000es burn in questions?


Got a new 9000es in the mail today[no free movie and sample sacd disc ]anyway was wondering what the quickest way to burn this player in? Play cd in digital or analog mode? Does digital and analog both have to burn in 200 or more hours? Out of the box my b+k receivers dacs blow this player out of the water.Will playing pink noise in cd repeat mode hurry burn in? Thanks for any help in advance

Hey miked, b+k 202 which has the reference preamp and dacs and the non ref b+k amps. When i say the receiver dacs sound better, i am talking about cd playback not sacd.Interconnects are brand new dh labs as well as the digital.they replaced straightwire interconnects and audioquest topaz digital that i had on my dvsp 7000. I put a solid silver stranded powercord on the 9000 at the same time as well as dh labs speaker wire.All this has closed the gap a little.will see what a little burn time does.Was going to order an acoustic zen digital cable,but if the 9000 is going to sound that much better with burn in,maybe i will get better ic's instead.
I have to comment on the picture and sound of dts and dd playback.The picture on my 35inch cinema series toshiba using the s video out is noticeably better than the 7000. this is of course using interlaced.the piture,while not razor sharp is spot on perfect in the color department. Anyone with a monitor tv,buy this unit anyway you will notice the picture difference if you have a properly adjusted tv,and you do not have to use progressive to see the difference.the dts sound which iv'e never had seems to have better bass control than dd,and they both have better steering of the sound and better dynamics than the 7000. So i have to agree about the digital out on this player being first rate.I can not comment on the sacd yet because i have no software,but this player so far is a steal without sacd.
