The CPU looks over-specified for a network audio streamer, but that should be fine assuming it had reasonable power management which it should do if it's running some kind of sensible operating system. Surely it shouldn't need to run any hotter than a small network router or switch...?
Has anyone measured how much power it's actually drawing from the supply (e.g. with a plug-top watt meter)? It's academic, but might be interesting to know.
I've measured the Dialog with a Watt meter. The drawing from the supply is constantly alternating, between 10 and max 70 Watts. Mostly varying from 10 till 60 Watts. Mine gets warm as well, but not warmer then my Sonos Connect. Anyway not hot enough to keep the teakettle boiling.
