Did you notice the background noise coming from the speaker when your Phantom is connected over Bluetooth and no audio is played ?
Bluetooth works fine with me when i'm not focused only on the music... but yes i can notice the difference and this does not mean i don't enjoy music over Bluetooth interface.

As one of you suggested, I tried Roon (very nice indeed !). I send music by AIRPLAY to an Airport Express connected to one my Phantoms.
Besides the fact that AIRPLAY limits my Hi res files, I encounter a lot of drop outs probably due to
- the fact that my iMac is too far from the Airport Express (in another room)
- that Roon is still analyzing the songs
Would you suggest Aralic Aries instead of the Airport ?
Thanks in advance

I hooked up a Sonos Connect into the optical of one of my golds. Hard drive with my library is connected to my Asus router. Sonos is on wifi and using the Sonos app I stream Tidal or my library. Works flawless and Sonos has a very intuitive and nice looking (ios) interface.

I think Sonos is brilliant and have several different types all over the house. The only drawback is that it won't handle hi-res files. There was supposed to be a game changing announcement from them a few days ago, but nothing materialised.
