protocol for Ethernet input on Golds?

[ogs]

streamy is right, data format on PLC, ethernet and wifi is propitiatory. The toslink input, however, is SPDIF. To use a pair of Phantoms with no Dialog each speaker must be used as standalone or 'Solo'. You must first connect with Spark to enable the optical input, then set the volume to a suitable level (and control volume on the stream sent over SPDIF). It will remember the toslink setting but not volume (defaults to a safety level of 35) across a power cycle so you'd have to re-connect with Spark to set volume after a restart. Problem is the Phantom sums input to mono in 'Solo' mode. You'd have to somehow split the SPDIF and send left only and right only over the link to each speaker. I have researched this and have found that there is no available product that does this. Maybe this is possible in some 'pro' product, but I have not found one.
