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?

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.
