since almost 4 years i'm a happy dac1/dac1usb and now dac1pre owner.

this summer my device was getting really hot especially in standby mode.

if i had to guess i would say more than 50° C depending from input selector position,

lowest heat in "analog" position, much more in digital input position.

no chance to assemble device in a 19" rack close to other devices,

knowing that heat is greatest enemy of each electronic device.

now i'm thinking of attaching alu-radiator to iron sheet case of benchmark.

can you pls tell me what dac1 is doing when there is no active input signal

and could i pls get 2 of these "white system power plugs" connected to mainboard?

then i could outsource ring core.

not to forget: sound is awesome, there still is nothing comparable on the market!
