Hot Schiit for Bifrost listener


Hi. I have a new Schiit Bifrost 2 it runs quite warm to the touch. Much warmer to the Rag 2. Is this normal?
I have a Denefrips Ares II and a SMSL M400 Dac here and thy run dead cool.
Is this normal for a Bifrost?
Thanks in advance.

my 2 cent

bifrost multibit and ares ii have quite similar sq characteristic - round, full, lots of body and foundation to the sound, bloomy as some would describe

ares a little more open on top, a little sharper w transients, a little more forward in center image

weakness of both, relative to better dacs (to my ears, in my system) is both have issues with sibilance on vocals...
