I don’t think it matters. I restart my dac and transport from time to time with improvements in sound. I recommend the Jkrichards nickel core transformers and VOCM mod. The improvement is more than subtle.I may one day upgrade my Directstream dac modded for a Mk2 but for now I am getting good sound.
How often to restart my Directstream dac and PST transport?
How often should I be reinstalling the Directstream dac and PST by repowering them off and on from the back of the units. I find my digital likes to be refreshed every month or two. Anyone else notice this?
