RE: You will find that it may be very little

The measured power consumption of my Mytek DAC was a bit under the rated 20 watts. I measured it some time ago when I first got a Kill-A-Watt. I don't recall the exact figure, but my recollection is 18 watts.

The measured power consumption of my Asus T1000 tablet is 10 watts at the AC plug with the display on full brightness and wi-fi in use. In this mode the wall wort feels warm, but the tablet itself is well below body temperature. Power consumption at the wall plug increases to 12 watts while charging the battery and the tablet feels slightly warm. The tablet also feels warm while playing video, presumably because of significant graphic processing. This system runs Windows 8.1 with 2 GB RAM and an Intel Z3775 CPU at 1.46 Ghz.
