I was recommended that I leave it on as it can take 8 hours to stabilize in temperature and can sound not as good if you play it before it has stabilized. The difference is night and day. The presentation is still more forward than the other gear I had but it is undeniably 3 dimensional. Love it now!
Nice
One of the things I dislike about Jim Smith when he writes about what to do is that he doesn't always explain why. In his book Get Better Sound, he talks about having digital equipment on at least 24 hours before auditioning (try to talk a dealer into that one) But he doesn't explain why. I go away for work a bit and almost every time enjoy my second night of listening more than the first. It's hard to tell whether it is because things actually sound better (I think so) or that my ears take a day to get used to the difference between my UE boom at the rig and my Dev at home.
I leave my Mac on for days, whit the odd restart, just to clear the memory, and keep the Dev on standby at least. When the missus isn't home, it's on 24/7 playing at low volume.
