Indeed, i had 2 Gold and 2 Play Five
2 Play Five sound always better than 1 Phantom no matter what the model is.
The new Phantom is limited to 24/48 and the old Phantom was downsized in its specs to play 24/48...
They stated it was "The best sound in the world" then "Unreasonable sound" to "The sound is amazingly just OK"

I sold my Phantom gold as it was becoming more difficult to deal with all Devialet's issues.
I bought the Sonos Play 5 for a transition period as I couldn't find and buy something better.
Yesterday I went to the store to listen to the Gold.
They sound better than the Sonos Play 5 but they are not 5 times better than Sonos when considering the sell price is 5x higher.
Yeah. I was told two SONOS fives was more complete than 1 phantom. I’m looking forward to seeing how it compares at least using Spotify. I ordered from crutchfield so no clue how long for them to get the phantom I 108db in and ship. If I really like it I’ll get two.
Just like with the reactors, buying one piece is not a good idea for the best SQ
Yeah. That’s why I didn’t buy another Sonos. I think the five sounds muffled.
Crutchfield can suck a fat baby arm.

Is there a difference in sound quality between Gold Phantom and Phantom 1 108db?

But we still do not know if this is down sampled (secretly) for transfer to the other speaker. Maybe a single Phantom in Solo mode has 24/192 straight through while paired Phantoms down sample? Are you still using DOS1?
Hopefully we'll know soon if @
struts can find the time to do measurements.
