My Phantom Gold situation after a number of updates:
- I am on firmware (2.10.0.49152) DOS 2 since a number of weeks. I listen to Spotify but also to my TV via Apple TV and using my NAS playing private digital sound files from my old DAT system. Have never tested Tidal.
- Very few issues. Biggest problem was maximum volume via the iPhone app – very, very annoying – suddenly 100% sound volume! Have solved this by setting the max volume to 60% in the web page of each speaker. Expect a more elegant solution from Devialet.
- The right speaker is connected to ethernet via cable, the left via wifi. In the router I can see that the communication to the system goes via the right speaker.
- In the router settings I have reserved the two IP addresses to the two speakers.
- I always turn the speaker off by disconnecting the mains. The sleep power consumption is too high - 45W – expect a better solution from Devialet (normal power requirement when listening is 65W). No problems to start the system, I never have to reboot or anything more complicated, no strange clicks, no strange sounds.
- Very very happy with the sound experience, I listen to a wide range of music from opera to jazz fusion. Sound quality of speech is very natural, no coloration. Best sound system that I ever have used.
- I have no problems to highly recommend Phantom Gold to any serious music lover.
Best regards
