New versions of Spark 1.3.1 and firmware 1.4.1.12

[ondastar]

Great post Ondastar I imagine if I have to buy an apple AirPort Extreme to set up 2 wireless phantoms in one small room, then any more than that (like the post above wanting to keep the phantoms in a different room to the dialogue) - would require more knowledge, more hardware, and more cost (unplanned) for the user

Last night I still noticed a couple of small periods of minor cut outs / interference when watching optical (sky box into optical switch into dialogue) I nearly cried and assumed it was about to escalate and die, but to my joy the moment passed after a few minutes

Any advice on how to stop this? Better cables? An extra optical box of some sort? (So far Tidal wifi is perfect)

Prior to version 1.4.1.12 when switching sources to Dialog's optical in through my optical switch it appeared that the Dialog signal recognition software would glitch, resulting in stutters and cutouts and then usually stabilize. Post update the performance is solid. I would ask if your optical source switching is done mechanically or opto-electronically? Mechanical switching will be likely to result in the Dialog glitching. Good toslink cables (in my view you don't need $500 1 meter toslinks) ensuring that the connections are not loose, or subject to jostling and vibration should be fine.
