What do people do when not listening through your rpi?
Do you completely shut it down as I do and remove the power source or do you just keep it powered on 24/7?
I'm guessing this is going to depend largely on what power source you are using but just wondered what others do?

All of mine are on 24/7.
If the system is on (usually) then the Pi is always on too.

I switch mine on and off when using it (Katana/Shanti dual power supply).
Haven’t had any issues and the valve amp warming up is the actual bottle-neck to listening.

RPI / KATANA / ISOLATOR...On 24/7 (2 x IFI Linear power supplies). No issues whatsoever.

On 24/7 as it uses virtually nothing [emoji4]
Used to be but it's in an Ali digione case now so usually switch it off. I also have an on line switch so I don't have to unplug etc.
The times it's been left on for several days it's been OK although case gets quite warm
Turn mine off with a switch on the power supply after shutting the pi down from within moode.
I switch mine off when at work and at night. Sat and Sun all day on.
Mine is powered from a dual linear PS. No efficient SMPS.
I use battery power, so switch it off when not in use, like the rest of my gear.

Players are switched off with each system as and when they are used . The RPi 4 4GB I use for my LMS is swirched on 24/7 so that it is accessible for tablets and the like at all times. My wife has problems sleeping so being able to play music late at night along with TV is a boon .
