Okay, am I the only one who notices some kind of noise gate circuit on the AUX in? I saw one other person say something in a post I can’t find now 😶. When the signal gets very low, the noise gate kills the audio completely, and then is very slow to turn it back on. Like, it cuts off the first half second of each song. And forget about listening to dialog on it. It’s completely silent for the first half of every sentence. No such issue on the optical in, but then again, a digital in wouldn’t need a gate, would it? Which begs the question, what in blazes is a manufacturer doing by putting a noise gate in a hi-fi amp, rather than addressing the source of noise? (I forgot to mention, this thing is noisey. Anyone else???) It’s like an admission of guilt. Anyway, I’m contacting the vendor. Maybe my unit is faulty.
