I have waited a while to bring this up, because this is such a hard one to pinpoint. I am CERTAIN now, that my SEEStum sounds 'better' after it has warmed up.
I mean, a good healthy, toasty half hour to one hour+. Its subtle, but I can put my finger on it now. Its what i would call 'ease'. The music is easier, and flows smoother.
Sure, psycho-acoustics are at play. With that said, I dont believe that the Quickie changes much with warm up. For all I know the DAC could be happier being warmed up. It does run warm. The Quickie doesnt.
Anyone have similar experiences? - For the record, I never noticed a warm up benefit with my old system that was fully SS. But, that kit was no where near as resolving and flavorful as this one!
