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?

Getting anyone at that company to speak with their customers is
not an easy task. They should have explained the product is a dual
purpose machine. Coffee warmer and sometimes DAC. 
I do credit them for truth in advertising.
Go to Home Depot (or Amazon) and get an IR thermometer.  Or use a “killawatt” to measure idle power consumption. 
A note of clarification on the above idea that the Yggy's top holes are for ventilation.  They are actually not holes at all because they do not go all of the way through.  Same with my Bifrost and now Gungnir.  

There is no ventilation, so the warmth can add up.  


@213Runnin, thanks for pointing that out.  Based on the photos at the website I would never have suspected that the "holes" don't go all the way through the panel.

Even so, however, I would not expect that 35 or 45 watts going into a component having the size and weight of the Yggy would cause it to be as hot as the OP described.  It would be a different story if it were say a 40 watt light bulb :-)
