@bacobits1
Thanks for your encouraging post. I have heard and read so much about having to leave it on continually and the fact that the break in period is many hours/days/weeks after initially powered on. I am hopeful it works out for me the way you describe.
As to why I am not hearing a difference already, I attribute this to two things. One, I already have good digital. Many folks here have confirmed it is difficult to distinguish among good digital. Second, my own hearing *could* be inadequate to discern the particular subtleties involved.
Unless a real metamorphosis takes place I can't understand at this early juncture what all the hype over this piece is. However, and as I've stated before, I am open to theoretical advantage. Meaning, if this multibit DAC truly is bit perfect (or closer to perfect than delta sigma) with redbook, that in itself should equate to "better quality sound", irrespective of whether or not I can "hear" or perceive it as such.
I'll also add that I intentionally stopped well short of purchasing the myriad of DACs that are available in excess of 10K for this reason. I knew the expenditure was to some extent, a "gamble". Since it cost a lot to win, and even more to lose, you and me bound to spend some time wondering what to choose.
