Devialet confirmed the link quality is between Phantoms and Wi-Fi router.
Yesterday I connected the Phantoms via Ethernet to my Russ Andrew’s switch so this more closely equates to my previous setup:-
DOS 1 Ethernet from Russ Andrew’s switch to Dialog and PLC BETWEEN Dialog and Phantom’s
DOS 2 Ethernet from Russ Andrew’s switch to Phantoms.
Both setups stream ripped music or Qobuz via UPnP from my Innuos Zenith.
The old system had no issues at all of playing HD tracks right up to 192 even if they were being downsampled by Phantom software.
Now I have connection in new setup via Ethernet I seem to be stable at 96 rate but anything higher still cuts out say 1 to 2 times per track.
So I can only conclude that the new software is not as capable of dealing with the downsample that the previous version setup was.
Very frustrating really and Devialet need to own this issue and up their game.
My advice to anyone still on the older Phantoms and dialog is to keep your money in your pocket. Unless you have a very good Wi-Fi connection and this is close to where your Phantoms sit you will probably have to use Ethernet to get stability and even then only to 48 or maybe 96 bit rates.
