FIIO KA11 DAC dongle

Nice, let us know if it shows any issue, hopefully not.

First thing I noted about JM20-Max: it does get hot! Not like burning hot, but definitely noticeable.

As @HissingFree said, it can be a good sign, the SGM opamp clearly generates some heat and the dongle chassis is correctly dissipating it. The point is if the dissipation is enough in the long run.

There is also a similar device, Shanling UA Mini, also 200mW at 32 ohm with CS43131 + SGM8262.

My second copy of KA11 gives different voltage to each channel. Right - max 2.55V, left max 2.0V. Firmware 0.08 out of the box, reinstallation did not help. In fiio control app channels matched, in windows channels matched. Maybe Shanling UA mini will have better quality control and less negative feedback from users
