SACD BREAKING-IN EXPERIENCE................


I am currently running in a Sony DVP NS900 DVD/SACD player.
I've read it takes or can take 300 plus hours for this machine to sound at it's best-I am only at approx. 120 hours.
My questions for those who have been through similar experiences.

1.Is there a difference between how the SACD and the CD replay breaks in i.e do they improve by the same amount.

2.Is the break-in gradual or is there a sudden improvement at some point.

3.How does the sound differ during this process.

I'll be interested to see how my experience compares with fellow Audiogoners.

As an extra does anybody know the difference between SACD replay on Sony players obviously I wouldn't expect my machine to compare to an SACD-1 but has anybody good experience with the Sony range in general?
Thanks in advance

I own a best kept secret in SACD players and they recently blew them out at under $200.The Sony SCD CD-775 and yes there is a noticeable difference in CD and SACD.There is also a rather long burn in time,I was told about 200 hours and it proved out being correct.
