I have AX-5 and QX-5 and it takes a whole day for system to “charge” if power is disrupted. Perhaps not quite so significant if there is brief disruption but do think either the stuff needs continuous power to stay warmed up or the components need to reach correct operating temperature. It must have something to do with the design because every Ayre product I have ever dealt with is like that. All gear needs warm up but man if Ayre is not broken in or warmed up it is really thin sounding.
