I've found for ages that there seems to be a maximum temp with my D200 above which it appears to deteriorate in sound quality. This seems to be around 45C. With the weather here in London getting a tiny bit warmer my Devialet seems to get to a threshold whereby temperature seems to jump from a stable point around 40-42C to a new point around 46-48C. As the weather gets warmer the 'stable' point gets hotter again. Firmware 7.1.1 seemed to have some temperature stability fixes but that was released in Autumn so some could be the cooler weather. The seasonal temperature changes may just be my imagination but temperature is becoming a bit of an issue again. I can hear it every time. The sound becomes duller as it gets hotter over around 45C. I have some heatsinks and might put them back in the Devialet!
