Breaking in of CD player?


Bought a Sony ES5400 cdp. Online writeups all talk about need for breaking in. So what do I actually do to accomplish this? In the past I just used the equipment I got right out of the box. What does breakin really entail?

+1 to what Winoguy17 said. Here is the madness I did before. I would connect my CDP to a preamp or integrated I didn't care about and leave it off. I would then rotate in various CDs, SACDs or DVDs each night. An Isotek CD, a Rives Audio CD, classical music, electronic music etc. I would let it play for 12 hours or so a night and turn it off in the morning to give it a rest. I would only listen to it sparingly. After about 250 hours or a month then I would install it into the main system and sit back and listen.

Honestly just sit back listen and play music from your CDP.
