"I was very surprised that it sounded rather dull, blurry and unemotional instead of detailed and transparent. I actually wondered whether Oppo tried to give it a tube-like sound quality instead of an accurate sound quality."
I don't know about the emotional part, but if it sounds dull and blurry instead of detailed and transparant even before being broken in, there is something VERY wrong going on in your system. That description differs from virtually every review of it. It also differs from the consensus descriptions of users in its very extensive thread on the AVS Forum which I followed many months ago. Somewhere I have described it as "Avery Fisher Hall rather than Carnegie Hall." It should give you what's on the disk, warts and all.
Breaking it in mellows it, not the other way around.
