RE: Airplay for Phantom - Olli I - 06-Dec-2016 If I bought my Dialog month ago does the exchange program allow me to swap my Dialog to Airplay Dialog for free or does it cost something? RE: Airplay for Phantom - Olivier4444 - 06-Dec-2016 No info on what the date limit is as of today.

RE: Airplay for Phantom - MountainGuy - 06-Dec-2016 Do you mean Golds will be airplay capable WITHOUT Dialog? Do we still need the Dialog? I presume yes for stereo...? So those with Golds do not need updated Dialog for Airplay but Silver and Whites do? Thanks. RE: Airplay for Phantom - Olli I - 07-Dec-2016 Silver and whites need updated Dialog. I think you will still need Dialog for splitting the stereo signal with Golds but I am not sure about that.

I presume yes for stereo...? My information comes from a big dealer in France, very close to Devialet. Now as for your question, I called Devialet directly and I have to admit that the person I had over the phone didn't sound 100% sure. To him Airplay on Golds will work just as any other input source (ETH, Optical, Bluetooth). I imagine the Dialog then takes over to split the signal into stereo. That would mean a firmware update for non-Airplay Dialogs will let you select the Airplay Source. To my understanding, White & Silver need the new Airplay-ready Dialog if they want to use AIRPLAY. Golds indeed would not need it. I 'll try to get more information. RE: Airplay for Phantom - pmichellon - 07-Dec-2016 Just received a mail from support. The dialog I bought back in December 2015 isn't upgradable, which means there's no plan from Devialet to offer a reduced price for the new Dialog. Therefore if I want to benefit from airplay, I have to invest 299 euros again and God knows what I'll be doing with my Dialog v1. I understand that hardware improves over time but this is not what I expected from Devialet who keeps claiming that their system is upgradable...

While it may not sound the same, the best bet is to buy a refurbished Airport Express from Apple and run it through optical. RE: Airplay for Phantom - Olli I - 08-Dec-2016 These things are getting old too soon. My Dialog that I bought month ago is too old. I should pay 299 euros again to get airplay in it. I am thinking of selling my gold phantoms and going back to traditional system which was less stressful to own. I am also speechless that they bring airplay capable Dialog on the market first and didn't add the promised Airplay for my Golds first which was the only Phantom that was promised Airplay at the first place. Don't get me wrong. I am happy for you guys who own whites and silvers but probably you understand where I'm coming from. I have asked if I get a new Dialog from Devialet because I just bought mine but they don't answer to me. I am feeling so unsure if there will be support for me when I have some "real" issues like hardware failure etc. RE: Airplay for Phantom - MountainGuy - 08-Dec-2016 (08-Dec-2016, 05:21)Olli I Wrote: These things are getting old too soon.

You don't need a new for Airplay which is built into the Gold already. The new Dialog is only for the Silver and White to get Airplay. |
