Is this an Apple or a Devialet problem ?
To be glib, it is your problem...
It is neither a defect in Apple or Devialet product but a problem with you trying to do something which is not implemented yet.
Spark may have a delay which varies depending on whether the data is sent down the optical link or network. The Expert delay depends on the buffer size.
Devialet are intending to provide a way for Phantoms and Expert to work together but a date for the release has not been fixed but is probably some time during next year.
I intend to use Phantoms as the rear channels in my surround sound system with expert for the fronts. I have been advised by Devialet that this functionality will become available but in the long future, not soon.
Pardon a rather stupid question from my side:
Do I really use Spark when I sent the music to the Phantom, when I am using iTunes with AirPlay to sent the music to the Expert and the (one) Phantom ?
Sorry for my mistake, if I understand correctly which I may not, the processing with variable delay takes place in the Dialog and I mistakenly typed Spark.
Dialog ? I thought the Mac is sending the single direct to the ATVs and from them to the Phantom/D120 ?
I have got a strange answer from Devialet:
"I should use an optical cable from the Mac - nonsense.
And the latency and synchronisation via a network are complicated to fix."
Perhaps they should ask Sonos...
Next, I will try it with two Sonos Connect.
