Hi All,
Since 1 week I have 2 phantom golds, dialog, tree and remote.
Don't like Spark at all so I put a Sonos Connect in the chain via optical on one of the phantoms (dialog is a no go till they fix the crackling noise...).
Works like a charm (you can put the volume to fixed in the Sonos ios app and still control volume with Spark or remote). Sonos ios app is, for now, in a different kind of league then Spark.
This setup gives me the opportunity to put a (hardware) room correction in the chain as well.
In doubt between a Dirac DDRC22D or Anti-Mode 2.0.
The Dirac needs a pc for (one time) setup but seems to be a more advanced room correction solution. No auto setup. You have to buy a specific version depending on your needs. In this setup optical in/out so obliged to buy 22D (will never be able to use the Dirac for rca sources in another system).
The Anti-Mode is a standalone unit (no pc needed) and can run auto equalisation. However, I don't need the dac/pre amp which is part of the box. You can connect multiple sources...digital/rca.
Feel free to share your experience or advice to help me choose
