McCormack DNA-1 runs hot

100 degrees is only warm, not hot. Normal in my experience with my Rev. A DNA-1.

Thank you guys for your comments.
I should have said warm instead of hot: I can keep my hands on it for a long period (was able to do it for 5 minutes even if it's not comfortable). According to SMc, that's normal, it is just heat coming off of it. But what a difference with the Stratos!
Thanks again.

I had some problems with my 225 that ended up being traceable to a bad IC to the preamp. My problems actually resulted in repairs (a good excuse I used to get an SMc upgrade).

I've tried it with 3 different IC to the preamp and with 2 different speakers, same result. The heat/warm comes mostly from the sides, not really from the top. If the rule is to be able to keep your hands on it for more than 1 minute, so that should be normal and I can leave with that (the sound is fantastic). Surpised to see that this fact doesn't seem to borther other owners... Maybe, I am not difficult...
