Trying to Understand Phantom

[Jamington2004]

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
