Not
quite true; on the QX-5 Twenty you actually need to break in each digital input as well.
My dealer had only used the streaming interface on theirs and when I borrowed it and used the coaxial and Toslink inputs it sounded quite harsh and brittle.
A few months later after my dealer had broken in those inputs I borrowed it again and it sounded quite a bit more musical.
