Phantom Premier vs Phantom I

[streamy]

So, am I getting this right? New phantoms DAC can handle 24/96 but DOS2 is throttling this to 24/48?

How does this compare to original phantoms and DOS1? Another reason to remain on DOS1 if this has a “better”  capability.

The DAC is capable of 24/192 but Devialet is throttling. I can still stream 24/192 over Toslink and UPnP to the the speakers despite the 24/48 limit. The 24/48 limit could be an easy way to get rid of known stability problems with higher res streaming; just state that it's not supported. Easy way out.

Good to hear that 24/192 still streams over Toslink. At some point Devialet will need to explain their new product specifications. They still keep the product specs for the Golds to have a frequency range from 14Hz to 27kHz @-6dB but on the other hand there is no way to provide any digital signal above 48k, which results theoretically to a max frequency of 24kHz @-112dB when the filters are ideally bandstop. It’s a bit like my Renault Twingo has a max speed of 350 km/h ... in zero gravity space! Probably, Devialet needs to go over their books not to collide with consumers protection laws in France and Europe at least.
