Did the Mytek head-amp take a while to break in?

I've only listened to my Mytek Brooklyn DAC + headphone amplifier circuit a few times, and I really didn't like the way it sounded. (With the speakers it sounds incredible.) I know I could always break it in on my own, but I'm wondering if you experienced break in. By the way, I have Sennheiser 800 headphones.

I did not notice any break in issues. But, the 800s are said to be very sensitive to amps and can be treble-happy if not matched properly. Perhaps just a bad match, as the BB is extremely clean. May need tubes or a 'warmer' amp?

  I don't think it was a question of too much treble as much as it was a certain lack of refinement. I will undertake a break-in on my own and report my findings at some point.
