In my experience, the sonic qualities during the first few hours are rarely those once the player has settled in.As I've said, it's still early days to make any sort of call ...
Of course, I'm not saying the player will improve with burn-in - I've heard players that sounded fantastic out of the box but annoying and fatiguing after 2 weeks ...
PS - you're right - the XA777ES is horrible playing back CDs - even to this day.
