    Assuming that everyone uses digital outs on their CD players is not wise.

    If you use the digital outs, no real break-in is needed.

    But if you use the analog outs (and their associated circuitry), break-in period will help "loosen up" the sound into near its final incarnation

    Its just more audio voodoo.

    Yeah this is simply bullshit.

    There is not even any theoretical explanation for why it would change the sound of a piece of electronic circuitry, let alone any credible studies that shows it does.

    This is voodoo thinking at its best.

    The whole breaking in idea comes from the fact that speakers are constructed with woods, glues, resins and all sorts of materials that will stretch over time due to heat and the excursion of the speaker.

    To apply this to circuitry is just silly.
