BREAKING IN THE MPD-3
Breaking in the Playback Designs MPD-3 is time consuming but well worth the effort. It would be a mistake to
pre-judge the converter based on what you might hear at first listen. This is what you can expect to hear at
different intervals during break-in:
1. Out of the box: The converter will have good clarity, but the highs can be recessed. Bass might
appear to be a bit muddy and lacking punch. Soundstage might sound closed in.
2. 50 - 150 Hours: The sound will open up a little bit, but can still sound a bit brittle.
3. 150 - 350 Hours: Midrange will start smoothing out and clarity will increase, but highs might continue
to remain recessed. At this point, there probably will not be much change in the bass. You will
probably wonder how the Playback Designs converter will ever sound like others have described, but
we assure you that you will start to hear substantial changes within another week of play.
4. 350 - 500 Hours: The magic will be starting. Highs will be open and airy. Midrange will appear much
more full bodied and natural. Soundstage will be huge and the image presentation will start appearing
very holographic. Bass will be incredibly deep and tight with texture and detail galore.
5. Over 500 Hours: The converter will continue to change subtly over the upcoming month of usage, but
you should be recognizing a very life-like and natural sound.
