New versions of Spark 1.3.1 and firmware 1.4.1.12

A friend of mine had problems in his home environment. Playback was without errors when he moved the Dialog closer to the Phantoms (from approx. 15m with several walls to approx. 3-7m with one wall in between).
He eliminated his other problems when he only used his PC with Spark as source. With his iPad there are still problems when he streams music directly from the iPads music library (big music files > 10-15 min do not start right away). When he uses Spark just to control the Spark on the PC, everything is fine.
These problems are home made and IMHO Devialet cannot be blamed for that.
At my place, I only had some stuttering with 24/96 or 192 files, but since I connected my iMac via Ethernet to my WLAN router, where Dialog is also connected to, everything works flowlessly.

At the end of the day, Phantom's are not wireless speakers. They need to be connected on the same power strip and wired with ethernet cables. As soon as everybody accept this fact then they will be much happier with their Phantoms. I had a lot of problems. After I connected them through an ethernet switch I have no problems at all and now I can go back to just enjoying how good they actually sound. They are too big and heavy to move around anyways so it really doesn't matter to me that they need to be wired. Good luck with your own setup.
