For me it's not the 24hours, but at least 4 to 6 hours a Dev needs to PLAY, before it resolves its charming sound, thought 24h is the best if you've got the time.
Also the powerline is not so "dirty" in the night and on sundays than at other times. It's no illusion that it sounds better than.
Why does the Dev (or any other audio component) need a long warmup to perform best? I can just imagine. Perhaps there are so much of little voltage-potential-differences in parts of the electrical components that have to even and that differ with temperature and "loading" time? For me this is the best illustration I was given until now. And maybe digital components are even more touchy to it because of the higher frequencies they are driven at?
