Pros and cons of leaving your DAC on 24/7


I hate waiting for equipment to warm up. But I don't want to kill a components lifespan by leaving it on, if that's a danger. My Musical Fidelity V90 DAC takes a little while to sound its best. I think most DACs do.  I leave it on 24/7. Anyone have a problem doing the same?

I also have a MF V90 DAC. I used to turn it off when not listening. Lately, I just leave it on, it doesn't take much power to run and I think the in-rush current when switching it on probably does more harm than leaving it on, just my opinion.

How do you like the DAC? I've recently upgraded some of my other components and am wondering about an upgrade to the V90 DAC. I have another system with a Lavry DA10 Black DAC that sounds incredible but it has a much higher price tag. Any thoughts?

HaHa, thinking  gear provides enough heat in winter that you won't have to use homes heater as much, lol! Stereo gear doesn't  provide enough heat to benefit from it, and even if it did it would be like turning on your stove because you want to save electricity. 

My Parasound and Marantz SS gear get turned on as needed… The Parasound amp has a soft start plus I  don't own stock in the electric company.
I'm very pleased with the V90. I bought it as an experiment. I was just going to upgrade my CD player. But I realized I had other digital sources that all would benefit from a DAC. I would just use my CD as a transport.  I didn't know what to buy that would be inexpensive but worthwhile as a improvement over the CD player output. I figured I'll buy something inexpensive and if it does sound better, then I'll buy a real DAC. If it doesn't, then I didn't waste thousands. So I did a little research. There are tons of options in the $300- $500 price range. That made the decision hard. But then I found a V90 on eBay for a really good price and grabbed it. I'm impressed. It's far better than I expected. I don't feel like I need to run out and buy a "real" DAC at this point. I'm a vinyl guy that has spun about 40 CDs in the last few weeks. That would have been a years worth of CD listening previously. I'm sure I will get the bug and upgrade at some point, but first I'm thinking of experimenting with this DAC to see if it can improve. First up is a power supply. If I can't find a better ps I will make one. I have to think battery power to the DAC would offer improvements. Maybe a better cable than the Audioquest I'm using. Then I'll peek inside -but this kind of circuitry is foreign to me so maybe not. Anyway, I've proven to myself that I can enjoy digital. That's a good purchase in my book.
