The information i got is from German forum quoting PIA, international larget distributor outside Japan.
“The disadvantage of CD players is still that they do not switch off the laser if it is only used as a DAA converter.
Hello Hans,
Is it hearsay or do you have specific information about it?

Yes, that is the current state of the art from PIA. I don't understand either. Indeed, it would be easy to solve. And such obvious artificial aging is actually not the style of the house...”
Note : laser diode life from 7000 to 10,000 hours continuous use <Non-officially acknowledged hours rating from a MAJOR CD/LD player manufacture>
This is a light bulb in a sense and all light sources will eventually degrade.
Best would be to ask distributor or direct Accuphase Japan ...
