According to my research, I believe full MQA unfolding (up to 24bit/192kHz) to the Phantoms can only happen if Devialet support it directly by registering [aka licensing] the Phantom DAC with the MQA group.
Partial unfolding to the Phantoms is available now, up to 24bit/96kHz, via a number of ways including:
Tidal on a PC with a hirez optical out, connected directly to the Phantom
Roon on a PC with a hirez optical out, connected directly to the Phantom [I do this]
Roon on a PC streaming to a Roon Endpoint with a hirez optical out, connected directly to the Phantom [eg a SonicOrbiter]
Bluesound Vault or Node connected directly to the Phantom [these are also Roon endpoints]
Its worth repeating that not all optical ports are rated to 24/96 or 24/192, and some os [eg MacOS] need tweaking to support 24/192
Roon provides details on the signal path and bit rates which can help "debug" your efforts to get MQA partial unfolding working, but its a journey ... good luck!
Hope this helps
