I also heard back from Devialet and they echoed what @tsmithpam heard: Roon playing >= 48Khz files is buggy with no known resolution.
While this issue is very reproducible with Roon and hi-res files, as noted it also happens occasionally for me even using an analog headphone cable directly to one of the Phantoms in a stereo pair (in theory no DAC needed from the "master" Phantom). I'm not sure what the Phantoms are doing to sync the data between themselves in "master/slave" (or if they're both "master", or if it's even related to the Roon issue) but it seems like the only option is to wait and hope Devialet finds a solution to whatever the problem is they found.
If anything changes or I hear anything I'll be sure to report back.
