Yesterday I was listening to my setup, it's summer and the temp is nice and warm. A few hours into my tunes I pick up tt2's remote to add some xphd, pushed the button and Mscaler changed from usb to optical ?
I thought that I must be sitting on mscalers remote, nope, it was beside me and upside down and facing the wrong direction. I upturned the remote, just to make sure no buttons were being pushed, all good. I then use TT2's remote to see if that was the cause, I pushed xphd and yet again mscaler changed from usb to optical out, the green one, cant recall if thats opt 1 or 2.
I reset mscaler back to usb and I tried it for a third time, pushing and holding xphd on tt 2's remote and yet again it went from usb to opt on mscaler.
By this time I was What! so I reset mscaler back to usb and tried it again, nothing, just a change of xphd on tt2, which is the correct action.
I tried again and again and nothing untoward happened, now this wasn't a fluke, it happened 3 times one after the other and only when i pushed and held the xphd button on the remote.
It stopped doing it, I went and touched mscaler and tt2 to see if it was heat related, both were hot, the hottest that I've ever known them to be, I didnt get a proper temp as my temp gun was downstairs and my lazy powers were too strong and won the "will I go get my temp gun" debate. But suffice to say that they were hot. Not damaging hot, it was probably still within it's heat threshold by a good margin, or it would of shut down.
It's never happened before, so I will put it down to being hot, maybe it's a good idea if I unstack them ?
I'm not moaning about it, as if anything, it was just a glitch, and I have used my setup probably more than anyone else with the same setup, as i listen to it everyday for hours now that Jeremy Kyle has been banned from TV
Steve Steve Steve Steve Steve!
Unstack them and mount them on feet to allow airflow around them. I have my Dave and Blu 2 mounted on Finite Elemente Ceraballs. The Blu 2 operates at about 36°C and the Dave at about 31°C.
