Tube DAC Conundrum

I have the Blacknote DAC30 which has 4 tubes in it. I read that digital stuff should be left on for everyday listening, but won't that use up the tube life a lot quicker? I am willing to change the tubes every year if leaving them on all the time will get me that far, but I don't know.

Never turn off your tubes, just like you never turn out the lights in your house when you leave.

Oh, wait, that advice was meant for another planet. On this one, if it's a bulb, turn it off when you don't use it.

Honestly, of all the stupid advice you get on audiogon, this thread seems to be the current winner...
