An idle question to people with Topping DC3 Pro+ USB DACs, such as @gnomonBen Zanin : do you power yours off if you’re not going to be using it for a while, such as overnight? I have been superstitiously doing this after I noticed that mine is kind of warm to the touch when in use (not uncomfortably warm, especially this season). But maybe I’m doing it wrong and it’s better to leave it on all the time.

(My desktop and its USB is on 24/7.)
