Another CD player on standby mode question

Hi Guys,

Know that this question has probably been asked to death. Per my cd player's manual...on standby mode...display is turned off and output is muted but all of the circuitry remains powered. Seems to me it's like being ON all the time. Is this pretty much standard of standby mode for most cd players?

Most recommend leaving players on standby mode if cd player has that feature. My main concern is wearing out the parts e.g. capacitors etc etc. Not worried about the display as it's turned off on standby mode anyway.

Summers can get as high as 90F...cd player gets quite warm on standby...any problem with that?

What do you think? Worth leaving on standby for that extra bit of "better" SQ? Or will powering the unit on and off once a day be ultimately worse for it's longevity.

Thanks
