There are 3 ways the Phantoms communicate with the dialog: PLC (preferred), ethernet, and wifi. The data format is propriatory Devialet. So far I have not seen anybody having deciphered the data format. There is somewhere a thread in this forum in which someone has posted infos he captured with a wifi tool. But no infos about data format or a solution to communicate with the Phantoms outside of the Devialet and Spark environment. So at the moment you can use the Phantom in solo using optical input, bluetooth (except the first ed. models), Spotify connect, and Spark. For stereo or multi-room you need the Dialog. Dialog needs to guarantee that sync between the Phantoms are always lower than 20us, else there would be audible interference that would influence localisation and frequency response additionally to the room.
