DAC without power switch - alternative?

Is there an alternative to simply pulling the plug (which I am not fond of regarding mechanical wear over the years) to get your DAC - which has no ON/OFF switch - off the mains? I'm running pretty sophisticated PC cables and would hate to see a simple switch in bewteen the wall and the DAC.
Can anybody help, please?

Thanks Sidssp for your fast response. Well, this DAC is fed by a PSAudio PowerPlant which should be on then all the time, too. Too much heat (the PS300 gets really hot), too much waste of energy?

Thanks Thsalmon! The PS300 wants to have the units plugged in to it switched on AFTER the PS itself is switched on. Otherwise there can be a very nasty repeated flipping of the internal relais which the 27ix doesn't like at all - goes into MUTE mode.
