1. Did not connect the Phantoms to the TV (I do not intend to do this, have a BOSE system for my TV).
2. I tried Audirvana with my MacBook: It works (Phantoms showing up as UPnP device. Music playing, but I get regular breaks in streaming (every 2-3 minutes). Not sure, if its related to my setup (Audirvana settings are optimized for streaming), or if this is a Phantom problem. I understand that MConnectHD basically is the same thing on an iPhone. Will see, if the problem continues to exist and update here.

But with an optical wire from the Macbook to one of the Phantom, Hires files will play flawlessly and with a much better sound quality. In a word, to get the true benefit of Audirvana and hires audio files, you have to hook it up with an optical wire. wireless UPnP does not cut it on hires files.
