The factory spec for Shimano hubs (sub-DA) is to ease automated wheel building, meaning they are too tight to be perfect for use.
Get a set of cone wrenches & an axle vise & adjust for just a "touch" of play at the axel-end, when the QR is tightened the compression will set your hub to a perfect smooth play-less spin. Better yet, back off the cones and add a bit of quality bearing grease before the 1st mile and re-adjust, you 1st pre-install maintenance will pay dividends in performance & longevity.
I did that w/ a pair of RS-30 low spoke count wheels last year, they now spin like my '84 Dura-Ace.
