A90D/D90LE stack. Had them mounted under my desk for a bit using command strips, those fell off so I got more heavy duty command strips, still didn't feel so great about that so I searched online for some brackets but they were all the wrong size. Finally I found this which almost perfectly fits them! Feeling much better about how they're mounted now.
Can you link the bracket?

This is the one, it's slightly taller than the stack so I did end up shoving some foam in the top just so it was harder to move it around, but with the feet on the DAC and amp they stay pretty secure, especially if you put the brackets close enough so the front catches. Also I bought separate screws since my desk is too thin for the screws that came with it.
They get fairly warm but they have some "fins" on the side if you can call them that. No vents on the top nor bottom, so I think it should be fine. Also the brackets make it so it's open on the very bottom and there is still some space on top. Good mention though!
that is one muscular iem cable
Haha, it's a headphone cable. I enjoy IEMs and headphones alike, today is a headphone day.
heat rises, so your A90 would be taking most of the heat
Wouldn't that extra space be useful for dissipating heat?
Yea, it's still mostly open on top. I just put a bit of foam in one spot to hold them down and prevent movement.
DACs don't produce much heat, in my experience, just the amps
Thanks for the concern, it's definitely something I will keep track of. These were too expensive to let die so I'll have to come up with a cooling solution if necessary.
It is indeed an E/90X! For that, it's so light that I can just use command strips to hold it up.
This is genius! I'll be using your idea. I have the Schiit Modius + Magnius + Lokius stack and they take up quite a bit of space on the desk
My solution was fairly straight forward, I just decided not to stack them.
Obviously that won't work here if you're trying to hide them under your desk but you could maybe try to find a slimmer version of those rack shelves.
Tell that to my Holo May KTE
This is definitely the play with the A90D. My remote struggles when it's on bottom.

I'm also very much enjoying the stack! The bluetooth is really nice when I'm using my work PC which doesn't have my music on it. The knob is also some serious ASMR, love the sound, and no channel imbalances for my very sensitive IEMs.
