It saves a little electricity but one thing to be aware of is that the outputs may give a small low frequency thump during power on/off. This is not a problem with correct gain staging.
As for auto-sensing amps - Transporter's outputs are so quiet that they are actually quieter when ON (actively driven to 0) rather than floating. This was different with SB3, where shutting off the DAC was necessary to reduce the >20KHz noise floor below a level where it would trigger some amps. I do not think any difference in component wear should be a practical consideration. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74930 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
