docked iPad loses sync
Wynnd:
You're probably right about it being a mixer/hardware issue, but how is the power where you were? Good power and a surge suppressor seem a minimum. A surge could knock the ipad connections down. (At least that seems a bit likely.) Power tends to be better in metropolitan areas. Rural areas are going to be less consistent. But you are probably right about it being the mixer itself.
RoadRanger:
I haven't been using the UPS I bought but if I was seeing problems like those I'd try that first before blaming the mixer - digital mixers can be pretty susceptible to power issues.
Wynnd:
You are making me consider adding a UPS to my mixing stack. (Contains the DL1608, 2xDriveRack PXs and a DriveRack PA. Most can take advantage of a UPS.)

My DL has never been connected to a power source which is NOT a UPS. Treated with kid gloves from new. I still encounter the sync issue, despite resetting the mixer, cleaning connectors with Deoxit, changing cables and anything else I could think of. I use iPad2 and iPad1. Seems to affect the iPad1 more often than the iPad2, but both are affected.
Havent tried 2.1 yet as I'm in the middle of a conference...
