when I bought my second DAC, I thought it sounded much better than it did. Or if it did indeed sound better I got used to it.

There's burn-in and burn-out to consider. I'm sure it's one of those two things.
If you plug the old one back in you can compare directly.
I had some new cables I was certain were much better on first hearing.
Later on, I tested this by placing the old cables back in. Sure enough I was amazed at how shitty those old cables sounded.. And amazed I could even stand them.. Like 'what kind of fool was I to have praised those old cables for so long' (the new ones are far far better.)
Check your DAC for yourself.
I A/B all the time, one sounds synthetic, one sounds natural. I need two DACs with my setup with all the digital sources I have.
I tend to prefer the 2nd. I think I am used to it, the good sound.
