Hapi powered on 24/7

Postby Walt » Sun Jan 17, 2021 17:56

Dear all,

I am using my Merging Hapi with an external high quality 12V DC power supply.

Are there any disadvantages if I keep the Hapi on 24/7? For example reduced lifetime of components?

My past experience with other DAC’s showed me they sound a bit better when warm.

Best regards,

Walt

Walt,
I've had 2 Hapi and a Horus for our 3 studios powered on for about 5 years. As long as the basic safety issues like heat dissipation are managed, we've had no issues.
All the best,
Mark
