There have been a few mentionable experiences in audio upgrades. One was hearing a lack of distortion in a subwoofer, for the first time. To many people, it's like "Where did the bass go?" But once you realize that much of that "bass" was just noise and getting in the way of the true recorded bass sound, you admire the new sound and do not want to go back.
The Yggdrasil, once warmed up became the first experience of just listening to the instruments or voices in the music. Up to that point, I heard music, had to think about it - where on the stage was that instrument? What kind of instrument was it? How was the musician holding it in their hands.
Then Yggdrasil warmed up - and, well, it's there! No questions to be asked. It is as obvious as the person standing next to you - the thing, no matter what it was in the music, simply appeared. Out of thin air - nothing, then suddenly it's there. Plain. Simple. There! Once the Yggdrasil is warmed up and setup in a good acoustic space, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. The music just appears.
Sorry - I don't call it warmish or tight - just REAL.

It probably depends on the system. I use mine in a speaker system, where the bass and treble are pretty extended. Through the treble for me gets the most "testy" and out of control on a bad DAC and AMP. My guess is the entire spectrum just gets much more controlled as the warm-up kicks in.

I have read ridiculously long hours. I had mine off during a period of travel and kind of noticed biggest differences after 50 hours (or roughly two days) and then 160 hours (or roughly an entire week). But my Yggy had been on continuously for 2-3 months before that powered off period.
I really don't understand how "thermal stabilization" takes more than a day, without delving way into audiophile-dreaming territory. This is a relatively small device. And if it were so incredibly temperature sensitive, then we'd get variable sonic results depending on the ambient temperature of the room, its placement relative to shelving/gear, etc.

i'd love for it to reach an optimum sound quality and signature and then i can enjoy it in peace without going through an emotional roller coaster every other day i hear it
i'm quite sure that the bass really strengthed up suddenly becos im quite sensitive to bass and once it gets too powerful i get a slight discomfort, which was why i couldn't handle Fitear IEMs. I thought that the bass signature was too strong!
