How to Break In a new CD Transport?

Hello, Need some advise. Just received my new Transport - Jay’s Audio CDT2. First listen straight out of box was really nice. An improvement over my existing cdp for sure.Need help on the best way to get some hours on cdt2. They claim 400 hours for complete break in? My system is all tube based, so I don’t want to run it through that.
Can I just turn CDT on and play a cd on repeat with the rest of my entire system turned off?
Thanks for your suggestions.

It's a Transport only. It doesn't have an output stage.

For the life of me, I can't understand why a transport (not a CD Player) would need significant break-in. If it were me, I would listen to music as I had time, and I wouldn't worry about break-in. And this is coming from a guy who does believe in break-in and leaves his system powered-up 24/7.
