Post Subject: More about Bypass ModePosted by Romy the Cat on: 6/18/2013

I need to admit that as time goes by I feel less need for Bypass Mode. Not only because it is uncomfortable to use but also because I feel that it implemented kind of with wrong logic in PP. The unit in Bypass Mode does fine bypass but it lives playback vulnerable for power interruption. If you pull power cord or if your power in the wall blink then your connected audio components will be rebooted. If you have any mission critical element that powered by PP ( I do) then they are absolutely unprotected from UPS stand point in bypass mode. One might think that Bypass Mode should eliminate the UPS operation but I do not think so. If I was the one who wrote the PP’s software then I would make somehow a provision that if the unit detected that incoming power is off then the Bypass Mode shall be disengaged and the unit would switch to buttery operation. Considering the uncomfortable control of Bypass Mode and not too indicative indication I kind of feel that this type of Bypass Mode is less relevant then I initially stressed.
