Another option is to install Audirvana on a Mac and use the phone app to control it.

It is a shame that one of the greatest features about Spark was dropped during the DOS upgraded. I am in the same boat and unfortunately did not realise this would be lost until I upgraded and I rue everyday I did that.
It's shocking that you have to spend a load of money to find some "work around fix" for something that was part of the design and had no good reason to be dropped (from a user perspective).
My advice, stick with DOS 1, don't do anything and just enjoy one of the best features about owning a phantom.

Hi All,
It's a shame that the upgrade from DOS1 to DOS2 couldn't be reversed - I do wonder how many people who upgraded to DOS2 would have taken the path back to DOS1 if it was available? - especially with regards to Radio listening?
I quite enjoy 'tinkering' with audio products but even with everything in place to get back to where I was with DOS1 in DOS2 it still feels very 'fudged' though I'm grateful its working.
I wonder if Devialet have any figures as to listening habits, eg locally streamed VS Radio percentages.
I don't regret my move to DOS2 because it has improved the sound quality of the Classic Phantoms considerably in my opinion but I do have some concerns as to the future path of DOS2 for two reasons.
1. As far as I am aware Devialet have said they will not be adding direct radio streaming functionality back into the app? Can anyone confirm this?
2. The glacially slow software development - there are some features mentioned two years ago that have yet to appear.
