Thanks for the replies. Billk, initially I thought it was an Ayre link problem but it persists no matter what is or isn't connected, does it with input disconnected, ayre link disconnected, even speakers disconnected. The clue that something is amiss is that on turn on for the very first time it shows violet (low supply voltage) for a few minutes before going into standby (green), and then on another push to on (blue), when I push again to go into standby it goes red (DC offset) and needs a complete power down to reset.
ctsooner, that's great to hear!
Dealer waiting on a response from Ayre, I can't get hold of Michael at Ayre on the phone, it did take them 2 months to do the upgrade, so nothing is going to happen fast
