I use it in Normal gain mode. Turbo seems to add too much noise to my headphones and IEMs which are all easily driveable. Normal used to get quite warm after some time. I’ll check later today if removing the risers has made a difference and report back.
Correct and correct !
Update as promised: After some hours of use, heat produced definitely seems to be lesser than before on Normal mode. So yes removing the risers was indeed a good idea ! The back part where the op-amps are located is barely warm to the touch. The middle and top are warm, but less warm than before for sure.
Absolutely different devices for different purposesXduoo Xd05 Pro vs Ibasso Dc Elite? Help me, please
+ I doubt the DC Elite can compete with the XD05Pro. I’ve heard great things about it but it’s still a dongle and it has it’s limitations as opposed to a full-blown flagship portable DAC/AMP.Absolutely different devices for different purposes
Is there going to be different sound from left and right channel, or just overall different sound signature? 
I'm curious what going to happen if I put two different brand OP-AMPs in XD05PRO?
Actually, I did it once. One is a Lieewho SA200 and another BurrBrown. The SA200 is too large to fit both in without significant modifications. I could tell the left and right were different mostly because there was always a slight pop on the SA200 when the unit was turned on or off. The sound balance and signature were both not distinguishable as the left and right channels were blended in.In my opinion, only the left/right sound changes, which I personally would struggle to identify in the context of normal music listening.
However, volume imbalances could arise, and even I would be able to hear them
. Makes sense now haha. The wait is killing me

AliExpress has heaps for cheap, you may wait a lil while though
