Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up?

Is it necessary to play music on a CD transport to warm it up? I have a Jay's Audio CDT2 MKIII and they recommend one hour of warm up. Is that just turning it on or playing a CD? I have read that Hegel recommends 10 minutes of warm up for my H390. Again, is that playing or just switched on?

Hi @fleschler

Did you compared your cdt3 vs et3 transport head to head?

If yes, what is a difference in sound?

I always leave my cd transport and DAC on. My 300b SET starts sound better after 1 hour and continue to improve. After 2 hours the sound doesn’t change too much. I need to check if volume is important during amplifier and speakers warm up.
