New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Well, I think in their case "settle" means "stop rapidly degrading".

I'll bet most CD players or amps could benefit from some adjustment or recalibrating after a few hundred hours too. That misses the point. What those who advocate "breaking in" electronics argue is that the performance improves over the break-in time, without any recalibration.

I'll bet if you calibrate a TV new right out of the box so that it's "perfect" and come back after letting it "burn in" for 300 hours, that particular calibration will look worse, not better. And after calibrating again, the performance will be the same or worse than the first calibration - not better.
