Does anyone experience sound improvement from restarting power off and on of DAC?


Does anyone experience an improvement in sound from restarting the DAC every week or so by powering off for a minute and then restarting the power back on? I’ve noticed that with my PS Audio Directstream Mk1 that I get a lot of improvement in sound if I power off at the power switch at the back of the dac for a minute and then restart the dac. I find by doing this once every 5 days or so much improves the sound quality. Does anyone else experience this? I have been told on several occasions that this is normal and not to worry.

I’ve had some unexpected power outages and if the power comes on fairly quickly, no, I hear no difference.

Wondering how PS Audio will respond to such observation!

PS Audio claims this phenomenon to be normal and probably related to ac brown outs. I am beginning to think that what I am experiencing is ac fluctuation and I am experiencing good sound.
