I'm using 2 QED cables to both phantoms and they sound great. No problems so far, auto switching works as it should.
Bogardo, may I ask why? I would have assumed the optical inputs of Dialog and Phantom produce the same results - or that Dialog is even better as the signal goes from Phantom to Dialog and then back to dual Phantoms. Might as well cut out the first Phantom and just go straight to the Dialog. At least that was my assumption...
Did you test both and found Phantoms to sound better?
Thanks!
The optical input of the dialog gave me some weird clicking noises and sometimes it wouldn't recognize the source.
Another issue, not related to phantom or dialog, was that the optical switching device would not always turn on/off or set to the proper channel when controlled by the Harmony ultimate remote.
My dealer went over to listen and they confirmed the optical input of the dialog being unstable. They leant me a 5m long optical cable to test with. Till today, no problems at all.
So I bought 3m long optical cables for each phantom to the 2 sources I have (tv and htpc). A good investment as the quality is perfect.
