It might be obvious, but I can't tell - are you using two of the SHD outputs so you have separate L&R Coax SPDIF / TOSLINK runs to each Reactor? If so, how have you paired them / synced them? Or do you have a single Coax SPDIF / TOSLINK feed going into one of the Reactors and you've stereo paired them via the Devialet app? Very, very interested to know as I would love to pull the trigger on the SHD Studio as it seems like just the solution for room correction. Any other advice on this would be greatly appreciated!(11-Mar-2020, 09:54)ogs Wrote: Your setup is actually very clever. Audio routing within the SHD Studio allows you to send L and R to separate outputs. I researched a solution like this for Phantoms (to skip Dialog and Spark) a few years ago. At that time there was no (good) way to do it. If the SHD+Dirac existed back then I'd be a Phantom owner myself today!
Some Toslink implementations can support 192kHz. The main optical on the Expert amps and the Mutec for example. And the 'big' Phantoms... I do not think high sample rate is the most important, however. My current setup is limited to 24/48.
I know I can send 24/192 over Toslink, but there's a cable length stability issue on long runs (from what I've researched), so 24/96 has been the safe norm. I suppose all Phantoms could have been designed to receive 24/192 over Toslink, but 24/96 is safe. Anyway, I don't get hung up too much on these numbers.
The routing on the SHD is excellent. It allows for a great crossover, whether bi-amping speakers or for subwoofers. Or send a stereo signal to a headphone amp via 3 and 4.
I'd suggest downloading the SHD manual and familiarize yourself with the Phantom Reactor's operation, as there is a learning curve to setting up the SHD. And, from what I understand there are differences between The Phantom Classic and the Phantom Reactor. There is also a useful miniDSP SHD online forum. I'm not on here often and unfortunately haven't a lot of time available to go into any setup detail as I'm a frontline worker. Cheers.
