Absolutely, that is the fastest way for it to stabilise fully.

With or without signal is OK but connect an input, many recommend connecting a tuner.

It will be a few weeks before it settles into its final sound and will go through "phases" during that period - do not give up on it - give it time and it will repay your patience.

1 - Yes,

2 - yes,

3 - connect a source and leave it powered on - listen as often as you wish or not,

4 - not AFAIK but if you prefer to be on the safe side connect a pair.

My Solo is some years old and is only turned off if I need to move it or re-arrange power leads.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. I use a radio so as not to wear out the moving parts of a cd/dvd player
4. Yes, I would use an inexpensive can or a recently bought one to burn in both concurrently.

You should leave it on all the time. It was designed that way.
 
As far as the DacMagic is concerned, it is excellent and compares well with my Azur 840C! At the price I'd say it is a no brainer. Cambridge Audio gear is excellent VFM and well designed, they last a long time too. The DacMagic is not super portable though, it's more like a Solo than a Voyager for the lack of a better example.

My 9 month old Novo stays connected to the PSU. For the first few days I plugged an old pair of earphones in, put them inside the little carry case they came in, and left the Novo connected to the line output of my amp with Novo volume at 9 o'clock.
 
If you have an amp with a built-in DAC, how does the DAC Magic compare? For comparison purposes what is the Cambridge Audio amp range that uses the same chipset as the DAC Magic?
