Couldnt reliably tell you hours on break in, but have had the unit playing 24/7 for a 3 weeks before I made a direct comparison.

System consits of

Electra Print 300 DRD amplifiers
Electra Print PVA transformer based passive pre amp
Aeltier Audio First Horn speakers BLH w Fostex driver
Audio Magic Illusions 4D speaker wire/interconnect/ and digital cable
Audio Magic Stealth Mini Reference power conditioner

Computer is Dell Insirion 1100 w Western Digital 250G external hard drive. Using I-Tunes as server software.

I do a bit of writing for an e-zine. This unit is a review sample to me. My personal DAC is a Audio Magic Kukama.

Personally I was very suprised that the Phillips DVP 642 sounded exactly like the computer. Benchmark claims its the clocking system they use. There are other differences between the DAC1 and the USB DAC1. Eventually I will get a review written on it.

Mister Pig
