I have an M-DAC and a query regards powering on and off; what would be the risks of leaving it powered on all the time rather than continually turning it on and off on the front of the unit as I do at the moment?
It's the only component I can't use with my Google Home-controlled IR blaster to power on or off as it doesn't have the option to put it into a sleep/standby mode from the remote. I think I already know the answer to this but....would it cause any issues to connect it using a smart socket which could be turned on and off remotely or via a Google Home routine (effectively the same as just turning it on/off at the plug)?
I don't want to do anything that could potentially damage it (either leaving it on 24/7 or putting it on a smart socket) - I could of course just continue switching it on/off manually!
