But my modi does not heat up.
It is barely at room temperature.

But the Asgard 2 generates heat which rises up to the Modi above it.

I hope that's in degrees C. No wax caps, eh? I'd still keep things as cool as possible.
Nothing really to worry about. Check this out, as an example of components most likely to be affected by temperature:

3000 hour life rated capacitor?
No. That's at 85 degrees C (or 105, if rated that way.) Try 133,000 hours at 35 degrees C, 66,700 hours at 45 degrees C (average temperature of an Asgard 2 case--not internals). Or, about 45 years at 4 hours per day use at 45 degrees C.
Heat is not really a factor, until you get into silly (65-85 degree) temperatures.
Bottom line, if we do a 5-year warranty, we expect it to last at least 10. And that's largely governed by the crap lead-free solder we have to use these days. Look up "tin whiskers" for more fun.

Irreversible brain damage, developmental delays, hearing loss, miscarriages, abnormal sperm, caused by lead poisoning, on the one hand. More convenient soldering on the other hand. I guess it's a tie, huh?
Who told you I have brain damage?...it was my wife wasn't it?!
Always complaining, if its not about my abnormal sperm its going on and on about my brain damage...well these ends are going to solder themselves are they? Wait, what were we talking about?
Yeah. 150 degrees C. That's 302 degrees F. For a transformer. Wow.
Joining the Schiit family here. Got an Asgard 2 and a BiFrost DAC with the uber analog upgrade. This combo is connected to my computer and drives my HiFiMan HE-400 headphones with aplomb. Very nice gear. Simplistic design (this is a HUGE plus) and very well built. They run a little hot, but heck, it's a Class A amp. If you want an air conditioner, go elsewhere.
