I don't believe there is a direct/obvious relationship between working temperature and sound quality.

Well, equipment's temperature is crucial for sound quality. That's why some of us in this forum keeps their system on all the time. In fact, when I bought my D200, the dealer told me that it will sound better after about 20-30 min of warming up. But, of course, Devialet has "tried" to make their amp to sound good as evenly as possible with their unique power supply management system.
