Picking up on your earlier post, when I first received my brand new companion, I did think that it sounded slightly rough at first. Peoples experience with "burn in" vary enormously, from none required to weeks. For me, rough at first, but more or less there within a day.
I also never thought my actual companion sounded as good as the dealer demo unit I tried. This came with a Chord Sarum cable for the link. My own companion came with the Devialet supplied Crystal cable. I tried various cables that I happened to have, then later an Audioprana cable that utilises the companions XLR input. Only then, with the Audioprana, did I reach the SQ levels that I recalled getting with the dealer demo unit.
