Very very interesting. I want to be able to control the volume of Phantom II via my TV remote, but Digital Optical Audio out doesn't allow to do that. So I would need to utilise the TVs HDMI eARC + CEC combination for that.
I think your raspberry solution is exactly what I'm looking for, correct? Would it work from TV itself via HDMI eARC(not Apple TV directly)?
Devialet changed how it works between Dos 1 and Dos 2. In Dos 1 volume would be set globally for all inputs, or at least the optical in volume in would be affected by/the same as the upnp volume. In Dos 2 that is not the case unfortunately. I tried making a optical to upnp bridge but the latency on upnp in is too high, probably due to buffering. I now use a Bluesound Node 130 to get hdmi-cec with volume control. Quite sad that the Phantoms now are just “passive” speakers, all due to crappy software.
Thanks for letting me know. Seems no Devialet speaker in that case for my setup as Bluesound Node 130 price is extreme to just fix Devialet issues.
