Does a new cd transport require break-in time?

Twoleftears:

Since we share the same combo of DAC and transport, do you notice any lack of synergy between the components, or is your sound full, detailed and rich?
As previously noted in this thread, my Cambridge lacks fullness with the Gungy, but not with another DAC.

How annoying to have to find specific CD players and other devices that send zeros when paused or in between tracks.

Looks like a design mistake if this DAC was engineered to be compatible with a variety of devices.

I can understand and accept a device can click relays when switching inputs but a pause or a skip to a new track is not a change of input.

Perhaps they will issue a firmware fix for this serious limitation.

Hi Rv,

I have a feeling that when you get your "stuff" back from Schitt that it will work wonderfully with your Cambridge. I want to be straight with you I have heard a break-in period with the Cambridge. But for people who don't think that stuff breaks in that's ok.  In the long run you are going to like the Cambridge/ Gumby/Gungy?  synergy. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Best wishes

PS I use a 1.5 digital interconnect RCA to BNC

Charlie,

Thanks for the encouragement!
Hope you’re right.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

I agree with char2 although in my case the CXC was great from the beginning I guess in general it needs about 50 hours to break-in as some reports I read at other forums  , further more maybe there is a need to upgrade  your coax cable to allow better transmission of the data from te CXC to your dac .dac in general needs long term break-in period not less than 100 hours so don't judge your system after so short time you have to be patient my McIntosh dac for example was lousy at the beginning very harsh and bright especially on high levels volume it took about 3 month for break-in and now it's amazing .
