[off topic?] Discrete power codes (on/off) for Altair?

I just bought an Altair and while I’m waiting for it to arrive I wanted to set up my Harmony remote to work with it. However, it appears that the Altair doesn’t offer discrete IR power on/off codes, only a single “toggle power” command.

I emailed Auralic support and they were very confused by my question and wondered why I’d even want such a thing. Given the audiophile price and market segment they’re targeting, I was surprised by that response.

Does anyone use an Altair with a 3rd party remote? Do people just leave the Altair on 24/7 to avoid any out-of-sync power toggle issues?
