Trying to Understand Phantom - samurai7595 - 23-Sep-2015 Sorry if this turns out to be a stupid question, but I'm trying to understand a Phantom setup. For a setup that includes a pair of Phantom units and the Dialog box (Phantom Duo combo), can any sources like a turntable/phono stage and CD player be hooked up to it or is it just for streaming? Also, when it comes to streaming, does it only stream from a NAS/computer or can you connect a digital streamer/player to it?

RE: Trying to Understand Phantom - michirishi - 23-Sep-2015 Each Phantom has 1 optical input and Dialog also has 1 optical input. So, for a stereo system, one can connect up to 3 different optical sources. One can also access a NAS or computer via wifi or LAN. Recent Phantoms also have Bluetooth. You can switch between the inputs via the app (Spark).

More if you use a simple little optical switcher I have 3 things going into the dialogue Then also no need for long optical cables trailing to the Phantoms RE: Trying to Understand Phantom - samurai7595 - 24-Sep-2015 (23-Sep-2015, 15:13)Jamington2004 Wrote:(23-Sep-2015, 14:41)michirishi Wrote: Each Phantom has 1 optical input and Dialog also has 1 optical input. Which optical switcher are you using? RE: Trying to Understand Phantom - Jamington2004 - 24-Sep-2015 This one right here http://www.exprodirect.com/ex-pro-optical-toslink-spdif-splitter-3-port-with-indicators-allows-3-optical-cables-to-be-connect-to-one-source.html You can get them with remotes - but I just literally stuck it to the inside wall of my hifi cupboard - and simply open cupboard and turn to the input desired Simples You can also set the optical source to automatically play when sound is detected Useful as long as everyone has the app on their phone, which my wife didn't when she turned the telly on the other day!! Luckily I hadn't left it too loud Trying to Understand Phantom - DSD - 24-Sep-2015 You have 3 toslinks available with a pair of phantoms and a dialog no need for optical switch if this is sufficient connectivity for you; then select via spark; for vinyl Pro-Ject Essential II Digital + Ortofon OM5e - /€379 has a D-A and a RIAA phono stage built in to toslink output but it maxed out @ 92-24...
