I'm in the process of building a buffalo 3 setup and noticed the temperature on the QN1 mosfet (one nearby the ac in) is rather high, I can't touch for any extended period of time. I have the Buffalo 3 and the toslink module hooked up to it with the CCS voltage at 450mV, the voltage at 5.2, and the amount being shunted at around 8mV. Does anyone have some insights as to where to check or what might be wrong? Thanks in advance!

The heat is normal behavior for a shint-regulated supply.

Thanks for the quick response Brian! Just wanted to check since it's running so much hotter than the placid hd bipolar.
