Devialet, like many hardware manufacturers, makes continuous changes to its products both major and minor. Sometimes these introduce new capabilities (e.g. Bluetooth, Airplay), sometimes non-functional benefits like better thermal efficiency (the Feb 2021 SoC) and sometimes these are just changes dictated by component price or availability (different Wi-Fi chipsets, Toslink receptacles etc.)
However Devialet is extremely opaque about these changes, one could even say secretive. That said, the community here has managed to deduce some connections between hardware configuration, serial numbers, which among other things codify the date of manufacture, and possibly model numbers. Collating this information will give us a better understanding of when certain changes actually entered production and which configuration/capabilities a given unit has.
The more information we can gather the more we will be able to deduce. So, please register your Phantom units here. It would be helpful if you could list:
- the model i.e. what it was bought as (e.g. Phantom Premier Classic, Silver, Gold, Gold OdP or Phantom I 103 dB, 108 dB, 108 dB OdP)
- the first and last four characters of the serial number which you will find in the app (by all means obscure the numbers in between although I can't imagine how this information could be misused)
- the model number (which you will find printed on the bottom of the speaker).
A screenshot of your My Products page is even better as it eliminates the risk of transcription error.
I'll start. I am the proud owner of two Phantom Golds from 2017. Serial numbers starting K28P ending in 4U06 and model number MX207.
I am collating the results in a Google sheet here which I have made viewable to anyone via the link. Please post here or message me with any requests or suggestions.
Many thanks in advance!
