For talking sake, say you're using Volumio and playing a particular track.

In the morning, switch your laptop and hi-fi system back on, and continue where you left off. No need to power down anything relating to the RPi. Leave it ALL on, ALWAYS. Simples!

My RPi, associated linear PSU, and NAS box (containing all my music files) remain powered up 24/7.

Marco.
Yeah, I know I will do.

I think it is just because it is part of my 'hi fi' - I turn of my amp and my DAC and my turntable at the end of the day - just makes me think I just turn of my streamer too

Plus as it is connected to my ifi iUSB both for USB and for powering the Pi that will also be on and activated and I am not sure it that would cause the ifi iUSB a problem...

But I definitely get your point
