For sure there is a 'settling' time and I estimate that my units took some 300 hours to 'bed' in.
I started with a 170, that was running in the 45 degrees C's but with the 200 upgrade and its first software (7.0) the 200 was running very high in a matter of 60 degrees C's but with the next software (7.1) everything cooled down again to 45 C's. What software/firmware are you running?
My units did run a bit hotter, like 5 deg C higher in the beginning. I also notice that the units need 30-60 min after being cold to gain its full flavor (with 170 about 15 min).
My master and companion run at almost the same temperature even if my companion runs 4 deg C more than the master for the D amp.
Even at very sound pressures at home (-5 to 0 dB on attenuation) both units just creeps over 50 deg C a bit.
I have my units side by side which I for sure would recommend for cooling purposes.
