Phantoms for gaming and TV setup

[Erwinh]

If you are using the optical direct mode you'll need a toslink splitter. It's about €10 on eBay, Amazon or similar. If you use the speakers as normal, and the speakers are set up as a pair in the Devialet app, a toslink connection to the one of the speakers is sufficient. The speakers will sort out the rest by themselves. You'll get a minimum of 60 ms latency in normal mode. In optical direct mode it's about 1 ms.

Another connection question from an audio noob for optical direct mode; 
optical out with toslink of the bluray player, splitter, 2 toslinks to both the Phantoms? That would work to get the audio over the Phantoms?

Should work like a charm!

Would be nice but I have the original Silver Phantoms, 5 years old, no DOS installed. Does dat make any difference, or is optical direct mode not available on the old Phantoms?
