No, not a stupid question (and others have asked too). Ikabob, on my older Benchmark DAC I connected to Touch, it is also true that the DAC stays on at all time because of the Touch being connected. So basically the DAC has been on 24/7 for years with no negative outcomes. If you would really prefer it all to be truly off, I'd suggest a small power strip with both the TOUCH and Benchmark attached. Then simply switch off when not using. Or, and not sure if this will work, my benchmark has a switch on the front to go to optical input, s/pdif input, etc. What if you simply set that to the source that is NOT connected. Then this will probably let the DAC go to sleep. None of these approaches are "automatic" unfortunately. But this is why I simply leave mine on 24/7. p.s. Glad you're enjoying the Benchmark. It is a nicely built unit and the company stands by their products very well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97548 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
