After a couple months with the deck, I must say.... this system absolutely rocks.
Do you play with a headset on? I find that while the speakers are surprisingly good, the fan noise is always noticeable And sometimes obnoxious. That and the heat kicked out by the top exhaust, as well as the back of the device is quite high. I’ve noticed these two things on my 512, and my brother in-laws 256 models. Maybe I‘ve just been spoiled by the Switch OLED and its whisper quiet performance.
Honestly I am not having an issue with the fan noise at all. I have not plugged a headset in yet, but I do use a k/m on occasion for setting up emu deck.
I was prepared for a loud device with all the reports, but I think I got the quieter of the 2 fans valve has been using. I also have the 512 GB, but the back of the system gets really hot. I would even put up with more fan noise if it kept the unit cooler.
Of course it is louder than that sweet OLED switch.
