I have a Cary 306 SACD I’m using as a DAC. It has multiple power supplies internally and gets quite warm. In the summertime, I will turn it on a couple of hours before listening, and off when I turn in.
On Friday morning thru Sunday I usually have it on the whole time since I use it often when home. I tend to keep it powered up all winter, less heat and I’m inside more.As an EE in the computer field, It’s usually the current inrush that is most harmful to electronic components. We recommended they stay powered up constantly for this reason.
