Wondering if anyone actually own both white and silver, and thus have been able to compared them extensively with the same music, same placement, and same volume. At the same volume, can you tell any difference? And what are they?
Thanks,

Hi
I really don't understand why would someone try to do that test for you... The best way will be for you to take the current offer of 45 days risk free trial ..get the two phantoms you need, and test them at you own pace.
Angenet.
5 Silver Phantoms (2 stereo and 3 solo in 3 rooms). 4 Raspberry Pi 3b with Hifiberry digi + boards connected to four Phantoms. 1 Dialog with Airplay, Roon Lifetime Membership for perfect group play. Qobuz sublime, Tidal Hifi, 1 NAS Qnap tS-210 Pro. Location: West Yorkshire, UK.

Check the "Phantom white vs silver" thread. It has quite a few opinions about the difference between them...
Apple brought out a cheaper version of the iPhone 5s then the 6 rendition came out without a cheaper version. They saw sense so what's the betting that Devialet drop the Phantom White.

the white I demo'd at home was definitely no slouch! Interesting from the white vs silver thread some see a difference whereas to others it's just addition volume and headroom.

Thanks everyone who replied with helpful/constructive comments. I had forgotten about the white vs silver thread. Just reread.
Indeed the interesting thing is that I've heard some say they like Silver better. Others say white. And yet others say no discernible difference. With more Phantoms now in owners' hands, figure it would be interesting to ask again.
Sleach, I'm right now in a country that does not allow google translate (blocked) and I can't find another site that can translate that so I'll have to wait a while until I return to the US to read that article. That article looks to be the most promising one because it looks like they have a pair of white and a pair of silver so they can do extensive tests. Very much appreciate your link. Looking forward to reading it in a while.
Thanks for all your help.

having the additional gain on the silver will I imagine be good demo swaying material. I remember A/B'ing some DACS a few years ago and almost always the preferences of the audience went for those with more output gain and so gave more bang at the same amp volume.
