I wonder 5.1 AV system
#1
Hi I'm one pair of Gold Phantom user in korea.
Dose anyone can use phantom like 5.1 channel AV system?
If you can, how can I connect like that?
And if not, when do you think can we connect 5.1 channel?
I heard that devialet still try to contact to dolby to get licence.

It will be called 5.5. No need for sub!!! They said they were working on it.

5.1 stands for the signal (5 full band and 1LFE). Obviously, a full blown subwoofer produces much higher SPL <60Hz.

So marketing wise you can call it 5.5 if you want.
In order to have 5.1 with phantom you need
1- a decoding unit (can be the source or a processor)
2- a sound matrix unit to send every channel to an appropriate speaker (you can achieve this with an advanced multichannel DSP, a multichannel matrix or a surround processor).
3- a signal converting unit (to convert the output of the above into toslink/spdif for each phantom)

So this is not very straightforward nor easy. To my knowledge, Devialet has not commercialised a standalone solution yet.

The cheapest option would be a mediaplayer with Kodi (v17 performs the decoding rather well and you can perform Some kind of DSP) and a miniDSP nanoavr HDA afterwards with A/D converters for each channel.

This one is an interesting solution but how about the SQ when converting A to D once more after D/A?

i´ve spend a lot of time to found a solution for this. As long as devialet cant reduce the input lag of 160-250ms, you wont have a good result.
i tried multiple setups of avr receivers and delay correction devices, but nothing helped me out. 
So i contacted devialet and they told me "Our engineers are actually working constantly to improve our user's experience, update after update"
I think this is the default answer for every email which cant be answered satisfiable

so dont be disappointed if there will be no solution with the actual hardware..
