Trying to achieve HiRes Streaming on Phantoms

[ogs]

not use the DAC of the Phantom

I think this is not possible. There is no way of bypassing the DAC in any of Devialet's products AFAIK. The Reactor (Phantom II) has an additional ADC (like Expert amps) for digitizing analog signals, but this is again run through DAC stages after cross over and other DSP corrections (SAM etc.). Phantom I is similar, but has only digital inputs. If it is Optical direct you refer to it only reduces latency by bypassing some of the "expensive" DSP functions.
