Volume-wise, it was circa -8db on the digital inputs, a bit higher on phono.
None of my speakers need the volume set that high but that seems about what the PMCs needed at OAC. I was surprised how inefficient they are.
I used to have a video setting on my D-Premier which required the volume set at -10dB on the Devialet to match the rear speaker volume. My temperatures were around what you report after running for a while at -10dB.
I would guess that your temperature is about normal for a volume setting -6dB and higher, personally.
