I don't think they are going to release a new version of Phantom. If you look at every new product, they use the same technology as Phantom (ADH,DOS2...) but cheaper. The business model is based on Apple. First, you launch an expensive product/price for first buyers (Early adopters). Quality is great as feedback. Then you decline new products cheaper (Phantom, Dione, Gemini...) for a new audience. The issue is that Apple still belongs to Apple when Devialet belongs now to LVMH. LVMH sells products not speakers. We can see already the cracks. I had an issue with one Phantom Speaker and they don't have spare parts for Phantom, at least in France where they are built. I used to admire Devialet for their innovation but we haven't heard from them for a long time now. They are still struggling on the software side. too
