Edit Reason: add firmware version

tsmithpam: that's good news.
I've been working with Devialet on unstable Phantoms since mid-December (3-4 months). I've sent them several bug reports and recordings to help them narrow down the issue. They said they'd have an update early this week, but I haven't heard anything back yet so on a hunch I decided to check the forums.
My issue for those who would like to compare notes: my Phantoms are unstable in a stereo pair. Yes 24/48 but it also occurs even when streaming lower bitrates AND I can reproduce in mono mode (albeit it is more stable in mono).
For me, the following yields the same results:
- Ethernet. I left Wifi unconfigured on the Phantoms to "force" use of Ethernet. Roon/Airplay source
- 5Ghz Wifi. Roon/Airplay/Bluetooth/AUX source (AP in same room)
- 2.4Ghz Wifi. Roon/Airplay/Bluetooth/AUX source (AP in same room)
- I have also moved the Phantoms around the house just incase there are dead zones throwing everything off.
My internet is 1Gbps fiber. Networking gear is enterprise Ubiquiti gear so it should have the horsepower for a home (in the before times this gear powered a 2 floor office with hundreds of devices.) For Roon I tested both Tidal Master tracks as well as locally stored FLAC (Roon+Files connected via 10Gb ethernet). Airplay was tested with both a Macbook Pro and iPhone
I have been working with Devialet using a pair of Phantom II 98dB (as they are my WFH desk speakers). As an aside lately I've also noticed the instability on my Phantom I 108dB pair but haven't reported or done anything to narrow down the issue. Edit: Both pairs are using firmware 2.14.4.
FWIW 2.4Ghz + AUX seems to be the most stable "unstable" for me right now yielding only Vinyl/CD-esque skips on occasion, primarily from the source speaker.
