| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? My Audio Aero Capitole has been left 'on' 24/7 for over four years with no drop in quality that I can notice. Until I got my Anthem D2 the Capitole served as my main DAC as all other components, including satellite, streaming audio and DVD player.... | |

| If i share libraries in itunes is it same quality? I suspect the only change would be in the 'other' DAC.
