Sonics1,
Congratulations on the purchase of the D1. It is a great DAC. As Brownsfan says let it burn in and you will be rewarded nicely. My burn-in period seemed be to a bit longer than 100 hours. I noticed improvement up to about 300 hours. In any case after you have settled in with the stock D1 for awhile, if you want to take it to an even higher level send it to TRL for their modifications. Cost is $550 and burn-in is about 500 hours, but seriously, the difference will astound you. Read my review or email me for more information.
BTW - TRL thought the stock D1 was astounding and they couldn't believe the price was $500. They felt it was one of the best DACs that came through their shop for mods, and they have modified a lot of nice DACs.
