New Devialet not sounding quiet right (newbie question)

[ogs]

Hi,

How long did it take before you were satisfied with the sound of your Devialet ?
Is it still necessary to 'burn in' a new box ? If the music doesn't sound OK, what would you change first ? We have a Devialet 200, Athom speakers (trial), dedicated Windows 2012 music server with MC19. Cabling is nothing special : what's in the box.

I'm an IT guy, setting his first steps in the High end audio world so please be gentle. The discussions on this forum are really fascinating (and confusing). Everything I learned about cabling, grounding, power supply, multitasking OS's etc. is questioned.

Thanks,

Joris

I got my D-Premier back in January 2012. It took more than two months before it sounded it's best.
I upgraded to a 250 recently. In roughly a week it sounded super, but as a new 250 it actually sounded fine straight from the box. This may have to do with the fact that the ADH core is retained when upgrading and the ADH in my D-Premier was already broken in.

Do you use USB from your 2012 server?
