Today, for the first time, I realized my speakers are active when my Star is in sleep mode.
With my ear pretty much against them I hear a feint white noise indicating current is running through them.
If I turn off server mode and remove my SSD from the usb and put it to sleep the speakers are fully off.
I know, from other threads, that the unit remains partially awake with server mode on and/or usb connection. But I did not expect the speakers to be powered.
