Ibasso DX240 - OLED heat damage from 12v amp usage

I love this DAP, the sound is amazing, the features are flagship for a reasonable price, but I think they should have tested their new amp feature more carefully.

Look at the bottom left corner of the DAP screen. I breathed on it in the first photo to help highlight it.

I spent a couple of long play sessions driving a Hifiman HE1000se though the amp with the 12v adapter plugged in and it heat the OLED to the point of creating heat damage. I was using AMP and DAC gain on Low with very reasonable volumes.

The electronics in the amp and plug appear to not have thermal damage but I'm not an electrical engineer.

I now run my DX240 with the ibasso PB5 instead, which was always my long term solution anyway.

Careful when using this feature fellow owners.
