I agree. Same power input + same chassis & venting = same internal temps.If you’re assuming thermal equilibrium with your initial condition, then absent any conditions that remove said equilibrium, guess what, thermal equilibrium still exists.
Sure, but this needed to be spelled out step by step.But that’s a tautology and only applies in a specific set of circumstances, of which you’ve assumed, and may not necessarily hold.

I'm not sure if you realize it but you are comparing unit that was incredibly hyped and bought by lots of people with something that probably no one here has. There is actually little failures of dx3 so far compared to overall volume.
If you want reliable product, buy something by jds labs for instance.
[(...) if it's below 80C we can safely say the device is safe.
Let me see if I can free up some time tonight for a thermal study...All I proposed is to design an experiment to answer people's doubt. This experiment is very easy to do --- @amirm can do it with a $10 IR thermometer (most likely he already has one) and takes probably ~30 min waiting time for it to heat up (by shortening the headphone output with a 30Ohm resistor), and can get into a conclusion (either it can or cannot reach a steady state with < 80C surface temperature) very easily.
I agree on this and ive been affected by a faulty unitYeah, because no one uses it.

It is useless argument!Either way, I am not getting the dx3 pro, mx3 seems more reliable and stable
Apologies in advance if I rub anyone the wrong way, but I can't hold my tongue...
I really love the DIY and hobbyist streak displayed around here and can personally relate to it. OTOH, I'm struck by the irony of us discussing thermal imaging, DIY heatsinks and custom fan installation to fix problems with the "highly recommended" DX3 when we continue to rag on Schiit for their build quality. To be clear, I personally had my first Magni 3 die on me within 15 minutes of first plugging it in, so I'm not claiming that Schiit makes great quality stuff.
I think it's important to call a spade a spade, and the anecdotal reports I'm reading on here make me want to stay away from the DX3, in particular because sending it to China for warranty service is such a hassle. Yeah it has a ton of features, but I suspect a lot of people don't really need those and might be better off with a simpler DAC (even one from Topping) paired with a JDS Labs Atom and just be done with it.
I did again the firmware upgrade and scanned the Bluetooth devices without any chance . I'll contact Audiophonics
Press "Line Out" button on remote or click rapidly twice unity's button until it shows "DAC" and volume on display. Be carefull, if you press twice one more time or press "Line Out" on remote twice it'll change to fixed 0db output.Love my DX3 Pro but the very brief instructions don't address the settings for a volume controlled DAC output into a conventional amp. Can this be done and if so how?
Lucky you! I'm waiting for Audiophonics to know if they accept to send me a new unit (but tested by them before sending) or accept their offer of partial refund.Got my unit today and was having the same issue. I could not pair it with any BT device I have. Tried the factory reset, no change. Then I reinstalled the latest firmware and now it works.
Agreed, it is virtually always the case that dissatisfaction results in more airtime than satisfaction; having said that if there is considerable vocalization of dissatisfaction with a new product there likely are some issues to be resolved (hopefully in FW/drivers, in a V2 of the product if not amenable to SW fix).It's also important to consider that there are a lot of users who are satisfied with this product that do not feel the need to be vocal about it, as opposed to others who have experience issues.
(With that said, I've probably cursed myself, and will be back to complain in a few weeks.)
Hi! i just bought mine on Shenzhenaudio Ebay page. Bought for headphones HE400i and this is my first amplifier. How do you think I will be satisfied with this combination? ThxAs to me, so far having a lot of fun with my DX3Pro listening from Tidal. It shares ear time (USB and Bluetooth) with my DX7S/MD-THX 789 and D50/Atom stacks (both through USB) and subjectively holds its own rather well. So far no reliability issues.
I have tested that combo and it sounds fantastic.Hi! i just bought mine on Shenzhenaudio Ebay page. Bought for headphones HE400i and this is my first amplifier. How do you think I will be satisfied with this combination? Thx
