I've had the Alpha, too, and your reaction was exactly how I reacted in the beginning.
I would say give it time and see if you can live with its shortcomings. At first the tube color, richness, bloom, 3-D atmosphere can be a fresh breath of air, especially if you're coming from poorly-designed (read: cheap opamp output stage) SS DAC's or CDP's.
Ultimately, I needed much more detail resolution, speed, attack, and mostly bass definition, which I found in a nice DAC with discrete SS output stage... Then again, maybe your tastes will be fine with the Alpha.
