I have the 805's little brother, the 605 attached to the AV system. The one thing I would criticise about it, given the price, is the time it takes to recognise the type of signal it is getting via its digital inputs.
While it is doing this, it mutes, and I think Sean is right in saying that this is probably what is ahppening in your case. Unfortunately it is even slower over the HDMI input. I would suggest a spike suppressor on your kitchen ring main would help, and they are generally no more than 20 quid / $40. -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46233 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
