jsteinberg48Why do you want to turn it off? I can't really think of a good reason to turn these kind of units off.

KyleLBecause I travel and am gone for weeks at a time. I know this unit is "portable" but I have it in one place and it is not moving. I never turn off my computer so I get your point but I like to draw as few amps as possible (the computer hibernates after 3 hours of inactivity) when I am not around.
Having an easier method to turn the amp off helps those who want an on/off mechanism and does nothing to those who prefer to leave it on all the time. That's my design philosophy--try to address both groups where possible. Just my humble opinion.

jsteinberg48You never turn your computer off but you want to turn off your little amp instead? That logic doesn't make sense, my friend.

jsteinberg48jstein,
You can plug the m9XX directly onto a power-USB hub with an on-and-off switch. Some power-USB Hub has a separate dedicated charging port and that is where you can plug the m9XX 2nd USB for power. And when you travel, you can either unplug the USB-Hub or turn it off if there is an on-and-off button.
Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Charging-Ports-Adapter-HB-U930/dp/B00SIQIV04/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448165642&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=usb+power+hub&psc=1

What I really want is a "on/off" button--say press the top dial in for 10 seconds since I think pulling the USB plug is a) more difficult for where the M9XX is mounted in my desk-side mini-rack. Also, it will put more stress on the connector. I guess I am going to have to get creative and unplug it at the wall side but that seems a shame for something that is a) so beautifully designed an b) does an amazing job. This is my goto headphone amp now.
If there is a version 2 or downloadable firmware update (?), please add some on/off feature that is not dependent on pulling a plug.
Great job guys.
