Immediately I had images pop into my head like those car commercials where they show them testing in the Australia desert and in snow above the arctic circle, but instead of a car there were a few audiophiles standing around poking the buttons on a CD player, and repeatedly opening and closing the tray :doh:
OK, as I presume it doesn't refer to the climate in your listening room, I'm going to make an educated guess.
Although a preamp stage shouldn't require much power, the Audiolab website states that it uses "Class A gain structures".
I've had mine since they were released, and it runs more than a little warm. I've just touched it now, and it's a little warm, and its not done anything since 1am (I leave it on).

Agreed. Contemplating a power amp upgrade (again!) to try and gain a bit more from it. My music listening habits have changed since I bought the CDQ, it's so flexible.
it is getting a bit warm but very little. nothing to worry. and it plays music 4-6 hours a day, continuously. after few hours playing i can keep my hand on it and leave it there.
