I have an iDSD Sig Finale, love it, it's a tremendous combo DAC/amp. Using it on my Windows PC. But I'm noticing that when the audio signal stops, the amp seems to immediately enter a sleep mode and there will be some audible popping in the headphones when this happens. Similarly, there will be some popping when the amp exits sleep mode, plus the first second or so of the signal isn't audible because of the amp still activating. I'm worried about the popping on sleep/wake amp cycles causing damage to my headphones over time, plus I just don't like the delay before the amp will start after silence. Is there a setting or some way to configure this such that it doesn't sleep so that both of these problems disappear? I have this on my desk always plugged in to USB power, so battery life isn't a concern.

Thanks!
