Most CD players and solid state amps need a 24-48 hours burn-in. No idea
about TP, but it should be about the same.

It's probably not worth even discussing your main question until you

As an audiophile , you should consider the SB as a very high quality
extremely cheap transport with all your music on it.
IE use the digital output and get the DAC of your choice if you want
substantial improvements over stock rather than spend money modding it

Which of these did you choose?

Whichever it was, it seems an awful lot of money to pay for something

Iv'e actually used the SB and the TP's analog outputs into various

Well said that man! I too am trying to be less anal about it all these
days. But I've still got CDX/XPS/52/SCap/135/135/NAT05 = 7 boxes + a
whole mess of cables, when I'm sure

$1385 plus fees...price negotiable somewhat:)

I use my Transporter as digital preamp. Its ok if you have no plans to

There is no reason for electronics to require break-in. People who
design the gear and their parts want to select materials that DO NOT
change over time. In case they do, its only for the worse (like
elecrolytic capacitors).
Speakers do break in, but according to loudspeaker driver
Audio electronics do not burn in in any remotely perceptible way. Your
brain, on the other hand, perceives things very differently depending
on all kinds of factors...
If there's a lack of bass, move your speakers closer to the wall. Or
pour yourself a glass of scotch.
