Oppo Blu-Ray burn in experience

I did not experience any noticeable burn-in with my Oppo BDP-83. Then again, I do most of my listening via the digital out, going into an external DAC. The only time I use the player's DAC is when I'm watching movies. So, it is possible the player did experience a "burn-in" but went un-noticed.

I think it's easy to forget that we have our systems "dialed in" for the existing source component. We've adjusted speaker placement, footers, interconnects and other cables for Brand X CD player and it's little wonder that when we substitute Brand Y CD player, things may sound strange.

I do think that many players take some time to burn in, so that's always an issue as well. I would wait a month before coming to any conclusions about the sound.

i have an oppo 83 se. it has about 3 weeks of continuous play, i.e., placing the player on repeat and varying the cds. it does have a slightly veiled presentation, never unplesant, but perhaps, not as resolving as other players.

4 weeks=500 hours should be suffic9ient.
