Lay your finger on the iron Parts.
I've had my system since summer 2015, Dialog has not failed, but runs hot, metal parts will burn, and there is some casing deformation. Opened a trouble ticket many moons ago requesting the design/manufacturing specs for ambient temperature operating range and thermal management design limits and the design target for Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)... no response. I keep the Dialog away from other heat sources, but have not deployed a fan or other "cooling" strategies.
Have noted thermal management concerns about other Devialet products in the mainstream Devialet chats.....
I believe in the not too distant future there will be a "case hardened" robust feature rich Dialog upgrade for surround applications.... hope I'm not disappointed.
