Do all CD players benefit from burn in?

Is it a general rule to burn them in for a few hundred hours? I have found that the handful of CD players (or DAC/Transport combos) I've owned seem to get better, especially in the frequency extremes (more control, less boom or sizzle).

These changes, if they exist, occur so gradually it's hard for me to tell if they're real.
I don't believe my CD player, which surely has more than 500 hours on it by now, sounds any better than we I picked it up. Same with my tube amp.
