Esoteric DV-60

So, if this has been the standard "break-in" regimen that most DV-50S owners have followed, I won't be buying a used one. That was my point.

I understand your concern, Rex, but I think you're safe. The accelerated method has been suggested by several modifiers, and I've used this method on five of my digital players with absolutely no deleterious effect. If you're concerned about a particular unit, then simply ask the owner how the unit was broken in.

As an alternative, one can use a semi-accelerated method by running the player on repeat overnight and turning it off in the morning. The process three times as long, but still faster than normal listening sessions.

Sorry guys I have to apologize. DV-60 was used on wrong polarity. Problem is fixed and DV-60 is now as good as DV-50 S on CD/SACD and better on DVD.

Frank, how was the UX-3 SE on video and audio compared to the others?

I didn´t spent to much time comparing the video capabilities. In short: DV-60 is def. better than DV-50 S on video. DVD-A was better with UX-3 SE - although I just compared two DVD-A´s (Kraftwerk and Michael Jackson).

What exactly is "wrong polarity" and how did you figure out this was a problem. You have done a total 180 in your comparisons? I am a little confused, please elaborate?
