Streamer always on?

I just obtained a new streamer (Arcam.)
Should the power always be left on, or turned off when not using?

He just sets the screen as auto off and leaves it always on. Their devices do not have a true standby since it doesn't actually reduce power consumption. So they just call it sleep. I follow his lead and leave my Auralic Vega always on with screen set to auto off. I also have Node 2 that I never power down.

They said it doesn't wear anything out, but gives better sound with the circuits warmed up. Bob
