Kijanki... thanks for the link and the additional information. my interest in this feature (standby) is of convenience, not to extend the service life of the component. since i am planning on placing the dac behind other components, not having to physically turn it off and on is a plus. that is to say i would prefer to find a small dac that i can leave on and forget about without having to reach around other components to turn on.
Small DAC With Balanced Outs
looking for a little advice on DACs... per the wife, i need to "get rid of a few of those shiny boxes" and clean up the gear rack a little. so, i'm looking for a small DAC, one small enough that it can be placed discretely on the rack behind other components and left on all the time.
i know the benchmark DAC1 when left on all the time will put itself into standby mode when no signal is detected, but am not sure if i can hide it behind other components.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
