New Devialet Phantom Ultimate - listening impressions

[ogs]

@njaiswal , @booshtukka  I asked Devialet Support about Ultimates. In the answer they said future "custom" versions will be based on the two Ultimate models, maybe during -26 (my speculation). The current Phantom II Custom has native Dante support so if the Ultimate Customs gets the same input module as the current Phantom II Custom, Dante should be supported.

@Johnnydev  is there any sign of a "Optical Direct" setting in the Ultimate app?

Thanks for checking ogs.  I'm not a big fan the customs because thats all they can do... so if my needs change then I can't convert the phantoms back to "normal" use... I guess the problem is integrating the Dante hardware on the speaker... that takes up real estate on the board so it may make sense for them to offer a custom version.  

Hopefully I can hear a pair the next time I'm in NYC...

The problem would be that the "normal" Phantoms does not have AES/EBU input and none of the Ultimates have analog inputs so this would not work for integrators.There is probably a good reason for Devialet to put Dante, AES/EBU / analog inputs on the Custom.
