Oh so I guess just a slight better speaker cable and maybe a nice RCA to mini will do it ?

The same thing happens to me.

Does anybody know of any place to to buy them in Japan? Or is it strictly on-line only?

@brighten, sorry to hear you have the same thing!!!

regarding my issue with the auto-sleep feature, seems it was not solely down to the audioengines, the culprit seems to be my inano passive attenuator, which when set to to low was causing the cutouts.

so thank goodness the A5's are ok, but my comments regarding the top ports still stands
