SACD players require break in time?
I bought a Pioneer Elite DV-45 dvd player because it played both SACD and DVDA discs. My last player only played the dvda. When i first got the player i noticed it had a decent picture and sound with dvd and dvda's. WhenI started to play sacds through it, I noticed they sounded flat dull and without any life.I thought whats going on here this is not very good. i talked with several people on here who said this model had poor sound. Well i stuck with the unit and 6 months later it seems sacds just came to life. they sound open and airey where they were dull to begin with. My big question is do these players require substantial break in time to sound their best? or is it just my ears? i had good interconnects from the beggining and my speakers were broken in from the beginning so i know its not that.
has anyone else noticed this with this model? i got this model fairly cheap at 299.99 off of ebay brand new the list price was close to a grand so i thought i got a good deal.
