Due to my nature of my job, I have been living in Sierra Leone (West Africa) where things are 'really under-developed' ... esp. incoming power.
The nominal voltage is 230V ac 50Hz but oscillates from 190V to 265V and several times a day, there are outages hence alternative source is a diesel generator during the outage period. To protect my audio gear, I use an Eaton Corp. 5 kVA online UPS that locks my output voltage to 230V and freq to 50 Hz. Every time I wish to listen to my system, I'd switch-on the UPS to provide clean power and once I am done I would turn off the UPS.
After replacing the Devialet Stock powercords with Synergistic Research Atmosphere for Devialet powercords recently, I find that every time I switch-on the UPS, the Devialets would perform a full reboot, i.e. install software, request a reset & then return to Standby. [ With the Devialet stock powercords, this never used to occur. It would always be on Standby whenever the UPS was switched-on ].
I am wondering if repeated reboots would harm the Devialets esp. if done practically on a daily basis.
( I wrote to Devialet Support but they couldn't answer it correctly or offer any suggestions probably as they didn't understand )
Any thoughts on this ... ?
