Hi
Yesterday I bought my second phantom silver, to have them work as a stereo pair I have been obliged to buy the Dialog.
I have some questions:
Q1: On the dialog USB port is it possible to connect an hard disk with my music in it ?
Q2: Suddenly since i plugged the Dialog i have a new WiFi network in my neighborhood, it's name is dialognetwok-XXXX I will not use it, regarding the fact that I plugged my phantoms through Ethernet.. is there a way to get rid of the new WIFI ?
Q3: Is it possible to have the dialog powerd by POE ?
Q4: Is it possible to turn off or dimm the white led at the bottom/back of the Dialog ?
Thanks for your answers
and forgive my french ENglish ......by the way I'm french

Regarding Q1. When I asked Devialet support regarding the use of the USB I was told that it is not activated yet but will be with a future firmware update. It would not be able to accept a USB turntable, but it is planned to accept USB storage devices. Sorry, no more details than that.

Re: 2 :The dialog networks are proprietary to the Phantom/dialog for control and streaming.
3 : POE is Power over Ethernet, and cannot be used to power the dialog, however HomePlug devices like TP-Link can be used for ethernet and AC connectivity thru your AC mains.

I finally jumped on a second phantom with dialog. When I set everything up in the same room it works well but my router had to get moved to my office downstairs so I moved the dialog with it. My phantoms remained upstairs in my living space.
Then I started having connection problems. Can take up to 10 tries just to get both phantoms to connect and even when it does the music cuts off and it's horrible. I was told as long as the router is strong enough which it is for all my other devices the dialog should be able to connect the phantoms but it doesn't seem to be the case at my house.
Is the dialog only strong enough to be in the same room as the speakers? If so what's the point of promoting 24 speakers to the dialog when it can barley reach the second floor? Please help
