I have the above Dac but I find it a pain to switch the power on via the rear on off switch, you can put this unit into stand by via the button on the front. As I switch all my equipment off when I’ve used them I was wondering why they use this on off switch?, and is it ok to put it into stand by then just turn off at the mains please?.
M Dac Plus Power Toggle ?

The rear switch probably sits on the incoming mains, in which case switching the mains elsewhere will do exactly the same thing. Regardless, I can't imagine how switching off the power could in any way harm the device. It's not like a computer where there may be unsaved data or industrial equipment that could cause mayhem if not shut down in the proper sequence.

Maybe it's for people who want to switch off the power completely and can't do it conveniently by other means. You'd have to ask the designers. It's not exactly uncommon to have such a switch on things.
