Hello folks, I just was unhooking a cable from the back of my Direcstream Jr (power has been off) and I noticed it was very hot to the touch, especially underneath in the backside, is this normal, I usually keep the main power switch on in back and toggle the power button on front when I use it. Ventilation shouldn’t be an issue since it is on a rack with all 4 sides open and nothing on top but a small Matrix audio digital interface which isn’t an issue.
Appreciate any feedback, hopefully it is normal.
When I say hot, I mean actually if I put my fingers on the bottom it is too hot to hold them there, the top is warm but not like the bottom.
Thnks:v:
I haven’t used my DSJ since getting the MK2, but I remember mine getting very hot as well. If memory serves the DSJ dissipates heat through the back panel, which can cause the connectors to get hot, as well as the rear underside. I never had any issues with it, but the heat was something I definitely noticed.
