Cool. I bought mine used, so I can't say anything about the break in. The filters don't make that much of a difference to me, but I haven't played around with them much. I think the biggest difference was setting the output voltage to 6V as long as your other equipment can handle it. Also, most people say that a separate preamp will sound better than using the digital volume control.I have a little less than 50 hrs on it so far. I am expecting improvement up to 100 hrs perhaps a bit longer. I have a set of digital cables custom made by Peter at Double Helix being shipped tomorrow. I am holding off playing with the various filters and dither controls until I am sure everything is settled.
What I am hearing is an increase in soundstage in all dimensions. With an increase in depth comes a more precise image and placement of instruments. I am also hearing more authenticity of vocals. Voices sound less digital and more human. Looking forward to the next 50 hrs or so.
