[QUOTE="ScottulusMaximus, post: 711648, member: 18165"] Related, not indicative... Of course a heat SINK takes a while to get to temperature, it's in the name... The component attached to it reaches operating temperature a lot quicker. You never said it was the same, however the "well it takes 20min for my heat sinks to get warm" argument was prevalent... Yes your DAC case may be 10 degree above ambient, and it may take a while to get there, the components that heat the case get to operating temp a LOT quicker... Taking transistors which generate most of the heat, the only thing you can measure and feel getting up to temp is the casing, which is already a heat sink, the bits that do the work and carry the current are buried inside and get to temp very quickly, they're tiny. It's thermodynamics, it's not difficult... Well when I say that I did fail 3rd year thermo's twice... [/QUOTE]
