I think we figured out that the issue is the charging circuit - and it "goes away" if you have the iPad 100% charged.

I don't think that's the case. I believe that the grounding techniques or lack thereof are the real problem. I just haven't found the time or inclination to prove it. Who would drain the iPad chassis ground into the DL signal ground? Mackie needs a lesson from Bill Whitlock on audio grounding techniques. :)

I would believe grounding could be an issue... I have seen similar issues with computers, audio systems and pbx systems where something had a not-so-well grounded connection, then it was grounded well for lightening purposes later, and that's when the troubles started. I also read in the other thread about that, such as lifting the pin on the power supply ground, etc. Not sure I want to try that, but hey, maybe I need to. Would be interested to hear what you find if you get the time =)

Thanks... Call me John, call me whatever... I'm easy, like Sunday morning. I stole the avatar so I wouldn't be bare, it seemed fitting for an audio forum =P
I've been lurking here for a while, just got around to responding.

Mine was pukin' out big-time on a gig a couple weeks back, turned out I was at 50%. Once it charged back it it was fine. Obviously YMMV :-\ .
