Is it ok to leave a DAC always on?

[norcalscott]

I leave a couple of DACs and a couple of media-centric PC's running continuously. Before @Eidie jumps all over me - I have solar and put more back into the grid that I take out most days

Well it’s your electricity, but all of our environment. Sure it may be only 3w, 76w a day, 26.28Kw a year. 12.93kg of CO2 a year (https://carbonfund.org/calculation-methods/).

I guess it depends on if you have children. Or care about anyone elses.

Was about to reply similar. This post perfectly express my sentiments.

Yawn, the green police are out. I cycle to work every day and only have one child, what's your green credentials?

Not the place to debate these. Your contributions are well appreciated.. it remains leaving a DAC on, is wasteful while serving no purpose.

It means I don't have to wait 5 minutes for the clock to come up to temp each time

Would turning it on 5 minutes ahead of each session be a huge pain? Asking seriously.

I can't do it if I'm not there can I?

Green morality judgments are as far as I am concerned political talk and I will say I want zero of that nature discussion.

No, you can't turn it on if you're not there. But why would you want it on if you're not there? Do you listen from afar?

My MOTU M2 has been on continuously for nearly a year, and other than a little male-pattern baldness and a touch of ED now and again I've suffered no ill effects....

Lol - best comment in a long time… nothing to worry about as you say !
