Wadia s7i output - to adjust or not to adjust?

I just purchased a Wadia s7i cdp. I've read discussions regarding Direct to amp or via pre-amp. I'm running direct into Bryston 7Bst's. I love the detail I'm getting but I also wonder about the the "Bass slam/Drive/fullness" goner's talk about when the connect via pre-amp. My output setting from the factory is in the correct range for volume level (I run between 75-100) My question is ...has anyone increased the output to try to get the "Slam" etc; even though they were already in the "Correct" volume setting...or did you feel you lost some of those precious "Bits" and it wasn't worth the change. I know I should just try it but it's not as easy as just flipping an external switch. Appreciate any shared experience regarding this.
tnx.

I only have 50 hours on the CDP and about 25 hrs. on my XLO Sig 3. XLR interconnects so I'm probably jumping a little ahead. I do leave it turned on but not sure how many hrs before it's fully broken in. I'm very happy with it (speakers are Dynaudio Sapphires) but as you probably know that in this hobby we're always looking around the corner to the next improvement. (Do you know approx. how many hours before you felt your s7i was fully broken in?)
Thanks Krell_man.
