So here's a question: the company that developed the T amp went under a decade ago. Where are all the "class T" chips coming from in 2017? Checking the web site of Cirrus Logic, which bought the intellectual property of Tripath, shows no sign of the chips being available new. s. --

Mine is in a cabinet with a a bit of circulation (the front panel is wire mesh). If I touch the transporter, it is very mildly warm. Not even approaching what I would call even very warm much less hot. But it's not simply cold (like some equipment that is truly off). p.s. it's been in this s

Mine never gets hot. On the left side, it's barely warm in the winter and gets a little warm in the summer. I suppose if it's in a closed cabinet (particularly if there is no ventilation at all) it's going to heat up more. I have a PS3 that gets super hot (even when off) if I close my cabinet. So

Thanks for the answers That's seems logical to be a little hot then. It's because the transporter in my house is in a quite completely closed cabinet so I wouldn't want it to be inappropriately hot. Moreover, the case has no apertures on the side, as far as I saw. That's fine then, Thanks ! LM

Ok so maybe it doesn't use a Linux kernel, but it runs some software on a CPU in the same way (except it's called firmware because you have to flash it to a ROM chip!). The Touch and Radio both use a Linux kernel, of that I'm sure. Principle is the same - they use a few Watts and this translates

The transporter is not Linux, it's a embedded system-on-a-chip, the [Ubicom IP3K](http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Hardware_comparison). To answer the OP, yes, the Transporter is always "on", and uses a few watts. Mine is always a bit warm, but it's an un-vented case design, so that's somew

I don't think any of them really go "off" in standby, it's a computer running a Linux kernel, so power consumption will be essentially identical when off as when on. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS

Hi all, I recently bought a "new" (never used) transporter on eBay and I'm a little bit surprised because it heats up a little bit in stand by mode. I mean, it's not really hot, it's just a little bit warm, as my other gears stay always cold when not in use. Is it usual ? Thanks ! LMS 7.9.0 on
