I've been told by my dealer that Devialet plans in the fullness of time to replace the iPhone app with a new version of spark that will control experts as well as phantoms. But it's a shame that the CI upgrade seems to have disabled a lot of the functionality of the existing app. 2.1 ignored the details of my configuration but allowed me to switch sources and control volume and power. With 2.2 I can control volume and power only. This does not make me look forward to 2.3...
Devialet told that they know the issue and are working on improvements
I'm sure that they are working feverishly. Poor devils; the current app is only 5 years old. Fancy needing to update it so soon.
When my amps came back from having the CI boards fitted, the new firmware was pre-loaded and the remote was working fine. I joined the beta program and loaded the firmware that we aren’t allowed to talk about. I decided to load the original firmware (Version: 2.1_RC4 + Firmware 11.5.18
Date: 01/12/2017) and now the remote will not work! How can this be? The only answer is that the files that were loaded at the factory are different to what is being offered on the site! WTF?
Sending music via Airplay seems to wake the machine from standby. Is this a new feature?
It seems to auto-detect if it has a steam being sent by Airplay or Spotify. Clever and useful.
FYI:
With CI board I hard-coded the Wifi and ethernet IPs on the configurator as I had before CI. Nothing worked...AIR or app. I configured them for DHCP and AIR works and the app functions perfectly. So far...

Where do I have to put the filter "iphone only" ?
Please tell something more
Before Core Infinity it works with iphone and orig. remote
In the app store of my iPad there is a ‘search’ function, in the right corner below. Here is a screenshot. In my language (Dutch) the search function is called ‘zoek’. I gave it a yellow marking.

Top marks for that one! Made me laugh out loud. Maybe in ten years they’ll have an iPad-specific one....
Seriously, how hard can it possibly be to update an App?! Especially such an incredibly simple one as a remote control. Oh I give up!
I’m very happy that I haven’t upgraded to the CI board. If it means a future with Spark instead of the current fairly elegant (albeit incredibly basic and poorly updated) App, I may never bother. At least not until a future iOS App renders it
completely useless.
Still baffled by all the upgraders - so may people keen to alpha-test and happy to use broken software. I’m guessing I’ll be one of the last to experience the CI.
