Topic: Leaving power on

I just purchased my first RME product - UCX II. Super happy with the purchase.

I just realized that I have left the interface on since I acquired it (I tend to leave the computer it's connected to on - it goes into sleep mode). Going forward is there a longevity reason to turn off the audio interface whenever I leave the computer?

Re: Leaving power on

Connect PC, Computer Monitor, Active Monitors and UCX II to the same power strip and power-off on the power-strip when leaving.

I am using three of those and distribute the devices according to three different use cases:
- power strip 1: PC, recording, sound
- power strip 2: charging devices, company laptop, light
- power strip 3: amp, guitar multi-effects, pedal power

Available with different number of connections:
