I got one Phantom, connected it by toslink to an Apple TV and connected my D120 by toslink to an Apple Express using on both devices with Airplay and iTunes. I think for the moment the only way to use both systems together.
Unfortunately I get a time delay. Restart doesn´t help.
Does anyone have ideas ?

It's not possible to synchronise them when one route is going direct (ATV) and the other is going via the Home Network (Express). There will be at least 0.2s between them. The best you can hope for is to pass *both* of them through your home network (for which you'd need a Dialog), or source the music from a Zoned Media Player program such as JRiver, where you can add a time delay to one stream until it matches the inherent delay in the other.

Although they are both TOSLINK, one of them is travelling around your network before going into the D120. That's where the unavoidable delay comes in, because Ethernet connections are much slower than optical ones.

Before buying anything would you please clarify which item has the delay?

I have tried another ATV, so two ATVs direct via toslink (one to the D120 and one to the Phantom). The same problem time delay.
Is this an Apple or a Devialet problem ?

Pardon a rather stupid question and for going slightly off topic - but isn't the airport express limited to 16/44? I'd hardly want to use the AE for 24/92 files. What are the other opitcal connectivity options that can ensure bit perfect 24/92 reproduction?
