Interesting reading - especially since I'm waiting for my 1000 Pros to come back!
Like Antoine I've not experienced a massive burn-in effect with the many components, speakers and cables I've had over the years. Yes I've noticed (or imagined?) change but never on a scale from initially rubbish to amazing. Usually the inherent character of the component remains during 'burn-in' and things like treble brightness and loose bass improve (slightly).
This 'indiscernible vocals' sounds like something more significant. Only time I've noticed major placement changes in the soundstage is when I'd wired one speaker wrongly and it was out of phase - gave a rather indistinct 'over there' effect. Could one of your DACs be wired out of phase?
