I understand the need to pursue good engineering but I do think that putting it above all other design goals, considering that most home noise floor is way above these numbers, can be a hindrance. Where is the trigger. Topping and the likes understood and introduced this feature in latest models. When I bought my DAC this is one of the base features I was looking for. Who has the power to go hunting for all these remotes or have a remote with endless macros.
To work around this problem, one can also use a 'master / slave' power strip.
These things monitor the power consumption on the master's socket and power the slave sockets only if the master is working.
The slaves do not work more than the master, so I think there is no issue with ethics and politics in that case.
These devices are great with PCs too : the display, printer, speakers, etc... all power up as soon as the pc starts or exits standby mode.
My strip has a potentiometer to define the power consumption threshold. That was useful in one case.
Edit : alas, I fear that no company manufactures (yet) this kind of strips with a power conditioner ;-)
Maybe I should start a new business and get rich.
