New CDP on the way--Advise, please

Even though the YBA does not have a mechanical selector switch, wouldn't keeping the selector switch turned to CD keep a load on the ICs/CDP? (the reason I mention ICs, is because I'm getting a new pair, that I also want to break them in the same way; either with or without the CDP. It may be awhile 'til my CDP arrives, so I would break in my ICs first-same method, I imagine.) My YBA is always in the standby mode. Even though the front diode is off, (when the volume is turned all the way down) the main on/off in the back is always on. Wouldn't that provide the necessary load? Thanks in advance.

Well here's the deal my fellow audiophools. I called YBA-North American Distributor, and they said, regardless of where my selector knob is, with the integrated off or in the standby, mode, that the IC will be carrying a load. So there I am. Thanks again for you help. I can keep it off and it will, as passively as can be, break in those interconnects.
