I do find myself in a bit of a conundrum though, because I can't imagine my system sounding any better. It's sounding the best it ever has. How to describe? Juicy. Relaxing. Rich, gorgeous. Satisfying. Fat, but not inappropriately so. "Rich" is probably a better descriptor than Fat. Bass is not overblown or loose. It's "just right".
I do notice that you haven't responded to my question about whether you still have the Abbas DAC. If you do, do you find yourself switching between the two or do you lean towards preferring one over the other?

FloridaBoy can share more on his Abbas.
Yes, he also reminds me to have patience. Both tube and caps are settling in.

Yes we both tried Tesla tube in Orchid DAC
Yes, we both tried new caps in our Orchid DACs.
Yes, we both swapped in different ICs and Digital COAX.
Changes are not always better or worse but “different” sound.
From here it’s tune to your preferred taste - more or less salt and pepper and spice. Each likes different flavors.
