If you're concerned with complaints about the auto-sensing being too sensitive, so that it cuts out on quiet passages, don't be. Just use Input 2, not Input 1. It's that simple. If you have other concerns, then it's worth looking for something else.
One very good something else is the Parasound Zamp (http://www.parasound.com/ParasoundZ/zampv3.php). It is also auto-sensing. It is a little pricier than the AudioSource, and probably a little better, but I've never heard one of them. Another possibility is the Sonic T-Amp. It supposedly has excellent audio quality, though again, I've never heard one. It is not auto-sensing, but it draws so little power when it is idling that it may as well be in standby mode. I don't think it has as much power as either the AudioSource or the Zamp, so you would have to make up for that with either more efficient speakers or lower listening volumes. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it, and it's '100% wind powered' (http://www.cleancurrents.com/).
