Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice

Hey all, I recently purchased a Denafrips Terminator II, and ever since I've noticed that some days the sound is sweet and natural, and other days it is forward and bright. I've even heard the sound change mid-song. Could this be due to fluctuations in my line voltage? Any other reason this may be happening?

System:

Mac Mini running Roon core

Sonore ultraRenu

Denafrips Terminator II

Pass XP-12 Preamp

Odyssey Audio Kismet Monoblocks

Focal Sopra 2

Sounds like it's breaking in, assuming you've had it less than a month or so.

If you are not using XLR connections on your pre-amp maybe give that a try, because many of these new dac companies favour XLR, but I'm still sure it's a break-in issue.
