Hi, should I leave the server on at all times? If so, what is the power draw from the wall when in use (including an 8TB SSD)?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, Antipodes server/streamers should be left on.
Not sure of the power draw but the whole point of buying streamers of this quality is the world class sound, and thus a potential 50 cents a week/month in electricity saved by turning it off frequently and deteriorating the sound should be down ones list of priorities. You could always buy a meter to plug into the wall to measure this if you are really curious, I own one but don’t care to measure this device.
If I was going on holiday for a week or more then I would then shut off and unplug my entire system, along with the hvac system, and the water shut offs etc. knowing that upon return and turning everything back on it would take a few days for the system to stabilize and sound optimum.

Thanks, that is what I usually do. I’m just trying to understand my AC load. I’ll have to get a meter and measure it.
