I just ordered a pair og Silver with the dialog and the volum controller last week and are starting to look at how I'am going to wire the things up that I have in my living room.
How to you solve the problem with the toslink signal when you have multiple sources and how do you hook up the tv and blue ray player with the hdmi signal ??
I see that there is toslink splitters to buy, but wich one do you have good experince with
Hi there
I started like you with 2 silvers and a dialog and below is how my system is wired in the leaving room
1-Dialog: wired to the router via Ethernet cable
Dialog: My TV has Optical out port and the TV is connected to the Optical port of Dialog
All my Video sources (Blu Ray, Sateliites receiver, Roku streaming, ) are connected to the TV via HDMI
So all the video sources will have the sound outputted via the TV to the phantom via the single connection to Dialog.
2- Phantom Left : Optical link to the CD player (my CD player has a optical out) and CD player can be outputed in stereo on both phantoms
3- Phantom Right : My sonos Zone Player is connected to the Phantom via Optical and I can enjoy internet radio and music from my NAS via Sonos...
4- Then you still have two possibilities via Bluetooth on two phantoms (possibly connecting your Ipad and other smart phones).
MY only advice .. when you receive the parcel.. run the setup from a laptop wired to the network... some troubles when you try to run the setup on a wifi connected device.
Hope the above make sense
Enjoy

5 Silver Phantoms (2 stereo and 3 solo in 3 rooms). 4 Raspberry Pi 3b with Hifiberry digi + boards connected to four Phantoms. 1 Dialog with Airplay, Roon Lifetime Membership for perfect group play. Qobuz sublime, Tidal Hifi, 1 NAS Qnap tS-210 Pro. Location: West Yorkshire, UK.

Congratulations with your purchase.
I have 2 white Phantoms and Dialog, connected over wifi. One Phantom is from the early series (without bluetooth). Setup was straigthforward.
If I use Bluetooth on the other Phantom, it will split the signal so I have stereo as well. This works fine for internetradio.
Happy Phantom user since april 2015 (currently 2 Gold Phantom, Dialog, Branch/Tree) with Tidal hifi.
