Ethernet Cables make a difference

[kmjy]

This had potential to be a more interesting thread than most on the topic because the cables in question weren't physically connected to the Phantoms, but nevertheless it seems to have followed pretty much the usual course...a shame.

Dialogue still sends the audio the same way. As a digital file regardless. It’s the design of the system. The system doesn’t bow down to the network. The network needs to bow to the system. That’s why you need a very stable network to use Dialogue or multiple Phantom.

This exact same topic in regards to Devialet Expert amplifiers and the outcome would be actually different depending on cables and more. It just isn’t how Phantom works though.

I don’t see it as a shame. I see it as a positive because every user gets the same experience. No messing around. No experimentation. Just the seme experience, always. No customer confusion or disappointment that the supplied cables or technology isn’t performing at its best because the customer hasn’t gone and purchased a thousand dollar cable to make it do so. The whole point of the Phantom existing was to completely simplify the complexity of big audiophile setups while keeping up with the same or ‘similar’ audio quality and sound experience. One box. Plug and play. That’s it. How Phantom is out of the box is how it always will be no matter what cables or additions you ‘think’ will change it. The only changes you’ll get are ones Devialet implement over software updates. If you want to experiment then Expert amps still exist and aren’t going away. They share technology but they don’t handle it the same.

Money should be invested in treating the room, not purchasing unnecessary cables and additions that have a ‘perceived’ effect.
Placement and room acoustics are absolute paramount to Phantom performance.
