No optical direct for Phantom Ultimate

Repeating from another thread.

From my supplier:

"I just received a message from Devialet that the new Ultimate 108 customer version doesn’t have an optical-only mode. You would need the custom version of the Phantoms which isn’t available in the Ultimate until next year. If it's to go onto a Dante system, you either need to buy the legacy version of the Phantom 1 or wait until the custom version of the Ultimate comes out. This will likely be Q3 next year."

That's a pity. Thank's for the information.

They’ve told me it may come in a firmware update. It also doesn’t support multi room yet.

I was actually told by Devialet Support that 'Optical Direct' would be part of the Ultimates. This was beginning of October. The message you got from your supplier can also be read as ...108 customer version doesn’t have an optical-only mode yet.  Let's hope a future firmware upgrade brings it!
