Should a CDP be left on 24/7 or shut off & on?

I read once on Audio Critique that digital eqipment should be left constantly on. Over the weekend I had to disconnect my Rega Planet Original for for 24+ hours and, frankly, do not hear any difference from when it was constantly on. This obviously is difficult to A/B.
What do you do with your digital equipment: leave it on 24/7 or power it down when not in use?

Thanks.

I turn my system off (always have) when not using it. I believe it stabalizes in 10 or 15 minutes. I don't hear any difference and figure I'm saving precious resources.
Also, I've come to the conclusion that I don't listen with the same intent or intensity as some others on this site.
