What source are you using? There has been a known issue where some inputs are overridden by the auto standby setting, and would turn the unit off. This happened to me when I was trialling Qobuz via the Chromecast input. 

If this is the cause of your problem, setting the auto standby time to ‘never’ will stop it happening. If this doesn’t solve your problem, maybe you will need to look at your network.

my source is internet radio, havent tried with my turntable, however it was consistent yesterday connected to my TV ( via HDMI ), so it might be an wifi issue.

thank you for your input.

I've had mine freak out like this. It usually happens with a network outage of somekind, so I would say an unstable wireless connection is the issue. But it's a safe bet to turn off the auto Standby to as I found it doesnt work well with analogue in and turns off regardless of audio coming in.

I would see if you can try it on a wired connection to see if it still does the same. Whilst I know this is probably not that convenient it will help identify if wireless is part of the problem even if you only temporary do it for testing  I would also check the WiFi channels being used by other access points or routers in your area as you might be getting overlapping with others causing dropouts. You can get free apps to check for this on phones such as WiFi Analyser. If your over lapping try s different channel that doesn't on your router.

hi all , it is for sure ( 99,5 % ) wifi issues, i just did a new setup and in that case re arranged my living room and cut the wire to my atom, BUT it did run ok for 2 month's and after ive got back from my 3 weeks vacation in japan it just pop's out now and then, i ive just bought 2 apple homepod's to my kitchen and they are suffering the same problem with (not) keeping up on connection, 

my solution is to buy a setup of linksys velop mesh network ( for my kitchen setup, and the rest of the house ) and run a new cat6 to my atom.

allways upgrade and never go down on new gear.

thank's everyone

Good news you found the issue. Bad news for the wallet.
