About a year ago I created a similar thread for a similar reason. I don't remember how long it took, but one day it just sounded better and that was that. I believe that "opened up" is how I'd describe it. I was surprised because the difference in this one guitar specific guitar wasn't all that subtle.
may be you've received a defect product??

I've experienced the same phenomena with my DGT, and it's been strung with 8's...
Is this an actual thing? Yamaha, for one, believes so. On electrics, they offer a treatment called, "Initial Response Acceleration." It has something similar for its high-end acoustics too.
From it's website:
"If you've ever played another guitarist's instrument and not been able to get the same sound, it's probably because you are playing a different style than what the guitar is used to. After playing the same guitar for years, the guitar adapts to the guitarist's playing style. It takes time for a new guitar to adapt to your own way of playing. Stress found between parts like finish, woods, body, neck, fingerboard, nut, bridge, etc., must be released before all of the parts can resonate together as an instrument. It takes time and a lot of playing for this to happen. Using I.R.A. technology, stresses like those between the finish and wood are released by applying specific vibrations to the completed guitars. Once this treatment is complete, the guitar responds accurately to the guitarist's performance and produces sound more easily. It also shortens the time needed for the guitar to adapt to your playing style and delivers excellent sustain."
Pretty interesting stuff~
