At first I wasn't having this issue after the upgrade. Then when all of you started talking about it I started seeing this behavior. It happens to me when I power the unit off when it has been playing Audio through the Analog connection. When I power back up and immediately switch to a digital input (my cable box) I sometimes get the "no audio." personally I think part of the problem is these substandard cable boxes that the companies are putting out. I had an issue with this cable box model (Scientific Atlanta 3250HD) on my other Pre-Amp (B&K Ref 10). It was the only device that ever had a problem with locking the digital signal with my B&K. B&K's said that they had a fix, but I had to upgrade to the newer Codecs. Well I upgraded to a Outlaw 970! I feel confident that Outlaw will get this resolved, but I am also getting frustrated, like others. I haven't had tome to really troubleshoot this issue, but what I have detailed above is what I have noticed.

Good Luck,

Charlie
