Nice looking (and an XLR!) - how are going to control volume?

  My new amps are the Wyred 4 Sound mAMP Monoblocks, I should have them either tomorrow or Saturday. I ordered them last saturday after auditioning them with my DAC and HE-6. I read this review after and was surprised how closely it matched my listening impressions, although it's not the exact same amp. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue39/wyred4sound.htm

Class D amps do not typically produce much heat. That's sort of one of the hallmarks of class D amp in general, as designers push them to be more efficient and waste less energy.
 
I have found very little difference in class D amps when they are "cold" (with the exception of them literally being freezing cold after coming in off a delivery truck, in which case they sound terrible).

I can see that for amps that have a high operating temperature and where the components actually exhibit changes in behaviour...  but for something that only increases by a few degrees, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

With some gear its imperative. For example your Krell KAV-400xi is sounding the best I've heard it( I've had it on or playing music the last 24 hrs).

I can control my office stuff from my 2 P10,s. And from my phone I turn things on about an hour before I get to the office . I hat the thought of paying the bill , but they sound so much better when hot. Anyway I cNnot wait for Monday. If ok I may come buy to hear them . Ok cradon ?
Also what volume control sounds better to use . The volume on the dac or the krell amp ?
