Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?

@golferjw how much open space do you have around it?

Since 'warm' / 'hot' are relative and we may have different sensitivities, can you take a temperature reading at the 'hottest' (to your touch) surfaces? 

In my experience the Yggy runs warm (I left it on continuously) but not hot. I would have been able to keep my fingers on it for a long time.

Schiit DACs tend to this something must be technically wrong with their design.

It’s unwise to make the broad statement above by taking an ’n’ of 1 and applying it to a successful product range that likely has the widest (or one of the widest) numbers of absolute users / units (standalone ’audiophile’ DACs) within the U.S.

The OP needs to measure the temps of his unit and report to Schiit for an exchange / replacement, if it falls outside of operating tolerances.
