Hello all. I'm wondering how hot this DAC runs if left always on. I'd like to just use it as a DAC for a speaker system, and possibly keep it in an enclosed cabinet, always on.
There is no problem with the M500 even if the power is always on. The fever is not great either.
However, continuous display display will cause burn-in on the liquid crystal panel. Please be aware of that.
In that respect, Topping's DAC can be set to automatically turn off the display when there is no input signal, so there is no need to worry about burn-in.

You mean the SMSL M500 right? Not Topping?

Of course I am posting about the M500.
I refer to the M500 (Ver1) that I use.
As additional information, I mentioned that it is necessary to pay attention to the burn-in of the LCD screen when the power is turned on continuously.
