I turn my DAC to the wall and leave it on.
The amp I have on a smart plug so it's only on when I am home and awake.

I leave mine on 24/7.
 
Covered the LED with these;

They are a fairly close match to the Schiit silver...

Those of you that own schiit as amps, do you leave them on 24/7? Any issues related to doing so?

The Asgard 2 just gets too hot to leave on.  The Magni 2 is warm but not too bad.  The Jot is barely warm when left on.  I've had mine since the week it came out.  Haven't turned it off yet.  Never gets more than barely warm at idle.  Contacted Schiit and they said it was fine to leave it on all the time, maybe even recommended.

The Jot doesn't care. It just gets slightly tepid to the touch. Other amps vary in temp- you can expect Rag to get hot, for example. However, the solid state amps don't really care. The tube amps, obviously, should be switched off if you're not going to listen for a bit, as you are using up lifetime of the tubes.

  I've actually found his opinions generally in-line with my own so I have a fair amount of trust in what he says.

It seems like he really liked the Jot, I skimmed through a lot of the review though.

  Sigh Zreviews... This guys a joke as a reviewer never talking about audio quality in his reviews and always the newest thing is "the best ever!" Don't trust this guy...

I get seasick watching them. The man-cave could be a bit tidier, and the rambling a little more contained, as well.
