Help! Pre amp turning on by itself.

 Yes, that's my problem. In the last month I have found my pre amp powered up for no reason. Just me and wife home, no one else in house. No pattern or consistency as to when I might find it on. Nothing has changed to system, nothing new added, there is no TV in room. Im wondering if this could be turned on by something remotely, or is the switch failing in some way? Going to reach out to Modwright also, but would appreciate any thoughts . TIA

My dCS Bartok comes on without fail from it's warmed up quiet state every time there's a power surge or temporary outage.

Had any surges lately?

I put fresh batteries in the remote and haven't had an issue yet after a month. Batteries in remote were never changed and probably at least 8 years old. Weird that old batteries could be the cause, but so far that seems to be the case. Thank you to all that offered help.
