I don't have a deep understanding of the DICE platform, but it could be that
this action is being done to ensure beyond doubt that the device's ROM is
consistent with the currently configured sample rate.  I guess that the ROM
is used by the device to set up the power-on device configuration, so this
action makes sure that the device will power up with the same sample rate as
was in use previously.

It could be; I've seen similar strange things with other devices and can't
immediately see why DICE might be any different in this respect.
