Thanks for all the comments, folks.
I will be setting up Room Perfect soon. I just didn't have time to set it up yesterday when I unboxed it, so I decided to give it some listening time without RP so I can understand by comparison the difference it makes once it has been implemented. In my first post I meant to convey the message that this amp sounds very good right out of the box, even without RP turned on. But it has a very solid state sound to it, and in my past I have always preferred tubes to SS.
I believe that with RP properly set up I will like this amp more than anything else I have owned, otherwise I would not have bought it.
I can't wait to get the DAC in action. This will happen soon. Most likely I will plug in my Wadia transport using a coaxial cable to start. I have a balanced digital cable but it's super short and won't reach. I will probably buy a longer one at some point.
Yes, I got the version of the amp with the high end analog inputs. This was very important to me as I mainly listen to vinyl. I skipped the HDMI inputs as I had no use for them.
I will leave the amp on 24/7 per suggestion, at least for a while until it is broken in. Thanks for this suggestion.
I will check back in a day or two. I've been very busy sending my son off to college this week so it might take a bit longer for me to respond.
Cheers
