Ethernet Cables make a difference

I see. It is a digital file so there is no possibility of change in sound when the file is played?

Yes, that’s correct. That’s from my knowledge how the Phantom has always worked no matter if it’s content was locally played or streamed. If it’s coming through Spark it is doing it that way.

Something like AirPlay of course is complete different. That is actually being streamed and connection quality will make a difference as the AirPlay device will adjust in real time the quality depending on the network conditions to prevent cutting out.

Devialet had to put a physical piece of hardware into Phantom for AirPlay with handles the changing stream conditions and decodes what’s being received from the Apple device as I believe it’s sent in an Apple format. Once the AirPlay module handles the incoming stream it passes it along to Phantom as a digital file. Only needing 10% of the file to be completed in order to start playing. That’s why there is a delay.
