No dropouts, glitches or weirdness for having a second unit and a Dialog. Worth noting I only use Spark for volume and have a Sonos Connect via optical for all music duties. Sadly the connect can't play at the same time as the rest of the Sonos Play 1 and 5 speakers in the house as the Phantoms introduce delay as a result of the audio processing so it makes them echo when in multiroom mode.
First glitch today but please read to the end.
So I hit play and it sounded like a stylus scratching over the surface of a record.
My IT troubleshooting head came on so I thought rather than rebooting everything and never knowing where the fault lay, lets try and narrow down the offender. I started by rebooting the Sonos Connect. A few mins later it was alive again and I hit play, all was then fine.
Moral of the story is that it's not always the Phantoms fault - at least in the case it wasn't.
