I understand the Dialog is necessary for running a pair of Phantoms in stereo. Is there any additional benefit the Dialog provides for a single Phantom however?
Also does it support USB audio yet?
Thanks.

Provides built-in Tidal, Spotify, Deezer and Qobuz streaming. Otherwise you need to use Bluetooth. I personally went with Raspberry Pi + Roon path and bypassed Spark altogether.
Current: Phantom Silvers, Oppo 105D (Toslink), Raspberry Pi + Digi+, ROON
Pre-Phantom: PenAudio Rebel2, Nuforce MCH-2C5, Oppo 105D (Analog)

Devialet support are pretty fast at responding. 5 mins later got a reply. Relevant snippet below:
Me: Can the Phantom work with Tidal, Spotify etc. without the Dialog?
Devialet: You will not have Tidal or deezer (spotify and radio will work without dialog)

An additional board with TOSLINK output I guess?
Like this one for example: https://www.hifiberry.com/digiplus/
This is how I do it. RPi 2B + Digiplus card via optical to Phantom. Linux Roonbridge is loaded on the Pi. Roon core runs on a NUC type PC in the study with music on a NAS. The RPi has a linear power supply. All controlled via ipad.
Mine is a bit different. Hardware is the same but Pi is running piCorePlayer emulating a SqueezeBox player. Roon core running on a desktop Windows 10. Music on a NAS.
