New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

There is only one single problem, this little guy gets pretty warm even when it's not being used (just connected through USB). I've been unplugging the DACport slim every night since I run my workstation 24/7, and I'm worried about leaving the DAC/amp 24/7 in its warm state.
Why I'm asking this is because I feel I'm wearing out the USB connection on the Slim unnecessarily. So the question is, is it normal that the Slim runs warm and is it ok to leave it plugged in to the computer 24/7?
Cheers.
