Checking to see how many Phantom Premier Owners have upgraded to DOS2.
I haven't because I am not convinced that DOS2 will give me any benefits, maybe a slight sound improvements. Plus not convinced that all DOS2 issues have been resolved.

Upgraded single Phantom Premier to DOS2 - very pleased - seems stable and the sound is better IMHO. I did have to make some changes to the way I listen to music but nothing too drastic - switched to using UPNP and Plex (which I already had) and so far no problems.
I am thinking of getting a second-hand Classic so I can go to stereo but can't comment on that side of things. Its frustrating because there seem to be quite a few Silvers and Golds out there (ebay etc) but not many Classics and I can't afford a new one at the moment!
So its a positive from me.

PS slight buzz I had on optical input with my turntable also seems to have gone with DOS2 - no idea why that would be but another plus for me.

Edit Reason: Adding details
)
My upgrade to DOS 2 went smoothly and I keep my Dialog, because I prefer optical as an input. My first impression is positive. The sound may be slightly better than with DOS 1 and the soundstage improved a bit.
I am now on 2.8.5.
That was a stereo pair of Golds, connectd by ethernet. I expected the remote not to work, an in fact it doesn't.
Is there a way to make the remote work again?

I upgraded a pair of phantom classics and dialog to DOS2. I retained the dialog for its airplay feature. But the system was unstable, so I removed the dialog, thinking simplifying the Devialet system would improve stability. For airplay connectivity I connected an airport express to one of the phantoms via the optical input. The system is much less stable. VERY frustrating and disappointing.
