Auto-off/sleep mode after x minutes - psychedelia - 30-Apr-2022
Hi guys, I have an Expert 200 and wonder what setting you have in terms of automatically sleep/hibernate mode. The default is 30 min if I remember correctly, but is there any disadvantage of making that an hour or two? I am asking with regards to heat primarily.
Thanks!

Depends if you have DPM on or off. On my 250 Pro I disabled Sleep Mode all together and set Low Power Delay to 20 minutes with DPM enabled. I usually turned DPM off for a listening session and on again afterwards (if I remembered it
). Temperature was a bit lower with DPM..It would be no problem setting Sleep Mode to more than 30 minutes on your 200, especially with DPM enabled, but even without it should work well. I had my 250 hung on a wall which improved cooling. If your 200 has less than optimal cooling a combination of Low Power and sleep may be a good idea.

Hey man,
Thanks for the quick reply! Until now I wasn't aware of DPM, but I have done some research and I understand people have different opinions on how much of a difference it makes. So on my setup it has been on, and i tried briefly today toggling on and off, not hearing any difference on low level volume - then again my ears aren't what they used to be.
As far as I can see, my low power delay is set at 5 minutes, and the sleep delay set at 30 minutes. I would really like the latter to be like two hours or more, but I am not sure if that would make an issue with the heat? Do you recommend increasing the low power delay too?
My unit is standing alone on the TV-bench, so i don't think cooling should be a problem, beyond having a hot apartment on summer days. As for playback it is mostly vinyl, or USB connected to a media center where i listen to music and stream movies/Tv-shows.
Thanks again!

Yes, there are differing opinions on DPM. If you don't hear any difference, keep it on. If you use low power you can safely set sleep to max. I think 240 minutes is max delay for sleep. 5 minutes for low power may be too short - depends on your listening habits. I set it to 20 minutes as I often waited a little while after an album was finished before I started a new one. Heat was never a problem. My amp was basically on from I bought it in 2012 till I sold it in 2020 (minus holidays and trips to Paris for upgrades..)

I don't use DPM and have my Expert Pro 1000 in an open sided but fairly height restricted cabinet with the 2 amps stacked on top of each other with feet in between. I have sleep set to 1 hour and have no heat issues at all so I don't think you have anything to worry about on that front.
