It’s like I said... I can explain in more clear terms:
the yggy will will be a a few degrees warmer than the ambient temperature of your room

Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC?
Al, I’d readily admit that I’m out of my depth quickly with this stuff. I have no idea how warm 35 watts is supposed to get. The Yggy does also have some expensive chips for the dac conversion, 4 Analog Devices AD5791, which probably get pretty warm. I just checked, those chips seem to go for about $100 each, or am I missing something? I do know that I’ve become a big fan of the ladder dac design, and the guys at Schiit really seem to know what they’re doing. |
Schiit DACs tend to this something must be technically wrong with their design. It’s unwise to make the broad statement above by taking an ’n’ of 1 and applying it to a successful product range that likely has the widest (or one of the widest) numbers of absolute users / units (standalone ’audiophile’ DACs) within the U.S. The OP needs to measure the temps of his unit and report to Schiit for an exchange / replacement, if it falls outside of operating tolerances. |
@213Runnin, re the AD5791, it can be calculated from the voltage and current specifications shown in the "Power Requirements" section near the bottom of page 4 of its datasheet that each of them consumes something on the order of 125 milliwatts (0.125 watts). The chip itself may get a bit warm, due to its small size, but of course 125 mw x 4 chips won't make much of a contribution to the temperature rise of the overall component. Regards, -- Al |
