That is correct. I guess there is a millisecond or two of delay through Experts too, whether analogue or digital but that is so little one can't hear it. Most of the delay in Phantoms is probably buffering as Devialet does not seem to use much DSP for other things than cross overs and ADH/SAM. I have never seen official numbers on any of this from Devialet.

If it is 5-10 ms we're already in the range where 'live' monitoring in a studio is starting to get affected. "Anything over 20ms causes a noticeable feeling of disconnection from the instrument I’m playing" says one poster over at Gearslutz. However, for playback as we do, it's the sync between channels that is important (as streamy talks about above)

Appears I am over my head both technically and experience wise, but my thought is that if setting up for home theater, there might be a latency issue between sound and video, but any latency sound wise amongst the phantoms themselves should be uniform. This might not be true, perhaps,I were trying to integrate the phantoms into a traditional passive HT speaker setup.

Hopefully not, but until Devialet tells us (will they ever?) we can only speculate... If one adds Reactor to a system with normal Phantoms latency must be the same for all. If Reactor has low latency a new firmware will be required for the old ones where latency can easily be adjusted to match Reactor. The Direct Optical routine is far too fiddely for normal use. Besides - the internal volume is bypassed so one might end up with different ways to control volume (unless Devialet has thought of a smart solution...)
I have received the reactor and the Devialet app that replaces Spark for the Reactor has a video sync option that is supposed to reduce latency to make the sound sync with the video. I have not tried it since I use the phantoms gold to watch TV, and I use the reactor on my desktop or on my terrace and swimming pool.
