Thanks Phil, as an ex Naim owner yourself, we all know about burn-in. I read the thread you started and I guess I will do an accelerated burn-in by running music at low-level for long periods, and when I am not listening properly.

What is a little bit disconcerting are the contributions where it seemed that, where units improved, they did not quite reach the level of the demo model. I wonder if there is variation in manufacture, or just some units take longer than others, even within the same model number. I also guess the perception is different with every pair of ears and the other electronics, especially speakers, in play with the new out-of-the-box Devialet.

Anyway, fore-armed is fore-warned, I will expect the worse and hope for good out of the box.
