Ibe been burning it in good, I have let my equipment idle and,cool down for a couple if hours to condition the solder joints at least once a day. The head phone section is amazing. I just wonder if my new amp and cables just haven't caught up yet....

Thanks. I was burning it in tonight until a fuse blew in my preamp

Very pleased. Gobs of detail and smoothness. The headphone section is stellar. This is a keeper. 
What should I hear as my amp breaks in?
