Topic: Pros and cons of leaving Fireface UC powered on

I usually leave my iMac in sleep mode when I finish a session.  Should I power off my Fireface UC also?  It will mean turning it on and off several times a day.  What are the pros and cons of leaving it powered on at all times?  What is recommended?  Thanks for your advice.

Con: Your electricity bill... There are no side effects of powering it off and on...
Pro: Nothing in particular. Convenience aka laziness... rotfl

Thanks, Daniel.  I'll own up to the laziness label.  I guess I was a little concerned about the sturdiness of the on-off toggle switch, but it may be just because I've not previously owned such a high quality piece of equipment.  Now I won't worry whether I decide to leave it on or turn it off.

And you can certainly count me among the legion of very satisfied RME owners.  Thanks for your efforts in developing and producing a well thought out and solidly built product that does exactly what it should.
