Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?

I just purchased a Schiit Yggdrasil DAC that runs much hotter than any component I have ever used.  It runs so hot you cannot hold your hand on it more than 2 seconds or so.  Schiit people say this is normal and you should leave the DAC powered all the time.  Anyone else have a hot Yggy?

No, but I've got a Modi 2 Uber and that little sucker is a firecracker. I do not leave it on all the time.

something sounds very wrong. i have owned multiple yggy's and they were never more than slightly warm to the touch even after being on for many weeks

My Yggdrasil is always.  It is warm to my touch.  Not hot enough to make me want to remove my hand.

If your room is hot, Yggy will be hotter than your room
