In the past I did have a lot of issues with my RS130 like screen flickering, strange Android behavior, Power of/stand by issues etc.
Now I use a 220v Power regulator for 3 months and all issues have disappeared like snow in the sun.
The regulator makes sure the output is 220 volt +/- 5% regardless of the input.
In the past I noticed (with the use of solar panels) the main socket output voltage did exceed 260 volt
So I think the RS130 is very sensitive for input greater than 240-250 volt
Anyone else tried this?
That’s rather significant overvoltage and can’t be good for anything else you have plugged in. You really should have your solar installer fix it.
Sorry, now I see I did type 260 volt, must be 250 volt.
But yes, still to high
Personally, I use power conditioners that are supposed to filter noise, regulate voltage, and provide surge protection.
Normally, they ensure that your equipment receives a clean and stable power supply.

For once Boris is giving good advice.
Here’s the thing… its not just surges but also brown outs that can damage your equipment.
A line conditioner or a regenerator will remove those issues.
At a minimum… even putting a cheap surge protector is better than plugging it straight into the wall. Especially if the surge protector has a million dollar insurance guarantee. (Home Depot sells them)
Not just for stereo, but all major AV appliances.
Your battery back up supplies do all that.
For my servers, I went w a commercial grade EATON solution… and a 20A line.
Still, 30V over is more than 10%. Bad for any equipment, and things that do not have regulated power supplies will burn out quickly.
Power conditioners are not inverters; they do not have a battery.
I removed my Eaton UPS units, which were causing electrical noise on my line.
Their only advantage is that in the event of a power outage or brief interruption, they maintain the line thanks to their battery.
Which unit are you using?
To be clear… the Eaton is in my server room. No noise in terms of power output but the fan in the unit isn’t exactly silent. (This is something that would sit at the bottom of a rack in a server room so anything less than 90db is going to be fine. )
I wasn’t talking about acoustic noise, I was talking about electrical noise…
My UPS units are Eaton Ellipse PRO Line Interactive 1600 VA.
My power conditioners are AudioQuest Niagara 3000s.

I understand.
I am running the smartpro where the fan noise is audible so not good for a listening room.
(That was the point of my comment. )
It is fitting that your streamer is playing The Sound Of Silence.
