Hello everyone, I’m using my Quad Cortex also as a desk sound card. The thing with this is that the screen is always on and the device is getting pretty hot. In my opinion this doesn’t have to be the case when the screen is off. The screen generates a lot of heat in the device. Now I’ve got 2 feat…

I was just about to create a feature request! Now that we have the cortex control, when we’re in our studios, we should have the option to turn off the screen. This could be added to the ‘Power Locking Options.’ It would be awesome—one more vote for this!

Fully agree. Screen off feature will be great for both Quad Cortex and Quad Cortex Mini:folded_hands:
