Default do you leave your MA7000 on 24/7
Does the MA7000 sound better if left on 24/7

I can't speak for every piece of Mac gear but the 7000's manual clearly states that standby mode only powers the micro processor and communication link. All the audio circuitry is off. My Levinson stuff is significantly better when powered 24/7, the Mac sounds a little better but not as noticable as the Levinson.

Hi
It won't sound better if it is ON all the time. Turn the units off in stand-by when not in use.
Thanks
