i have an all in one streamer/integrated amp from naim that i leave on 24/7, and recently tested out a NAD c 3050 LE- noticed this amp turns off after 15 mins or so of being left on standby w no music playing, which i thought was a little weird. do you leave your integrated amp on or off? thanks
Leave my dac & preamp on all the time, but have my amps hooked up to a switched power strip that triggers off of current draw when I turn on the TV, bringing all the more hungry components online. Works pretty well, and keeps my amps off unless they are being used (mind you, they’re class-D amps, so they probably don’t use much power when they’re not playing something).
Main reason I don’t do this with my preamp is it has about a 30 second power-on process (it’s a shiit freya S), so I don’t want to have to wait for it to complete that.
