Multi Phantom Silver/Gold setup question.
#7
(07-Jan-2018, 17:00)Desty Wrote: Devialet offers currently nice x-mas discount(on their website) for 2 golds/silvers, dialog and 2 stands. I am not just considering of buying them, but just trying to figure out my setup without many wires going around the room.

I been doing quite much reading about them and I think they would go nicely with my 200cm2 living room(might add few more in future). 

Now, as I understand, you need dialog(up to 22 phantoms) to actually use both of them. Dialog needs internet, so it has to be close to router to get ethernet cable from router to dialog. And with this setup, it's fairly easy to use ipad/iphone for spotify, also youtube or it's not supported yet with spark app?

My bigger concern is TV and not using bluetooth/wifi but optical cable. There is always possibility to try those 2, but I did read, that there might be issues with sound dropping. 
Dialog would be installed about 2-3 meters away from speakers(which is most likely not issue for BT!!) but running optical cable from dialog to TV would be impossible due to the fact, that TV is installed on room splitting wall, where is cap between with fireplace, so having cable running there looks just horrible. Phantoms will be installed next to TV. My main question is - Would it be possible to buy optical cable splitter(tv has only 1 optical) and running cables directly to Phantoms, would that actually work with 2 phantoms or it's a must to have them going to dialog?

Or is there another possibility with some different hardware?

Hi there

Not sure if you really need an optical splitter...for your application...
The setup is quite simple..
Dialog to the router via Ethernet cable...
One optical cable directly from the tv to one phantom is enough..
The second phantom has a free optical link... ready for connecting another device if need be...
Setup:
Via spark..
You run the setup and select the room with the number of phantom ( 2 in this case) and you configure as stereo ( left and right)..
That all
In the device setting menu, activate the optical link on the phantom connected to tv and call that device TV...
That all.
Now run spark on your iPad and select the source .. and you will see TV in the list of source... and the tv wil play in stereo mode ...on both Phantoms...

Simple..
