Bricasti M1 internal temperature

Mine reached 45C / 113F today.

96f here, but same dac goes > 100f at a buddy's place

I have no experience with the M1, but FWIW I would certainly not be surprised if the internal temperature of any component incorporating sophisticated digital signal processing varied significantly depending on what the DSP is being asked to do. In other words, on sample rate, filter selection, input format, etc.

Similar to how the temperature of the CPU chip in a computer varies widely as a function of its workload, resulting in its cooling fan audibly speeding up and slowing down at various times.

And of course the internal temperature will be directly affected by the room temperature as well.

Aha just looked at the manual and see that internal temp is part of the display possibilities. Not sure about anyone else but since we're talking about audiophiles here offering that bit of info seems downright cruel! ;-)

My unit has been on for 5 days straight and reads 91 currently.
Yes it sits in the open with good air flow.
