Does it need burn-in?

As some of you may know I have this new active crossover.
Does everything better than the previous one and I'm globally extremely happy about it.
However, since day one I found the treble to be overly sharp, sibilants are too pronounced.

I have it one and half week now and I'm not home a lot to listen music; can I hope this will go away with burn-in? I've experienced burn in many times but it was more like a roller-coaster with some good days and some very bad days; this here seems to change veeeery slowly (if there's any change at all). I did hear the midrange getting purer and smoother and the stereo image getting wider and more stable but the treble stays sharp.

Could it be that the many large (in size) metallized polypro film caps are the only components still burning in and that it takes much more time than the rest?

There's not much voltage going through the device while listening as it's a line level crossover.
