Devialet have announced that they will implement a surround system for the Phantom system (integrated into Spark) at a later date. It will probably be worth waiting until then since the likely hood of a mixed system working, given the reality of timing issues in mixed digital systems, is near zero.
The only down-side is that Devialet do not have a good track record of expediting software enhancements.
I use my Phantoms for TV connected to the optical output of a Humax tuner. The timing is OK most of the time but a couple of times has been off, which seemed to be fixed by removing and then reselecting the optical input from the playqueue in Spark. I am just happy with stereo. Personally I appreciate a good quality stereo sound with TV more than a modest surround system.
