There are a couple of things that are easily adaptable but need to be mentioned. 1) Once you are using spark, you need to unplug the replug the Bluesound for optical to work. If you go back into spark, then repeat. Otherwise you get no sound. Also, you will have the same problem if you are using a second optical, this is an easy fix since the node 2 has an optical input. It is an easy switch between Tidal. Optical in, radio, HDD, etc in the app on the ipad. You will need to use the IEEE cable provided, or your own, if you want to stream mqa without any dropouts. It is also much easier if you unplug and need to connect again.
I do not need to unplug and replug the Bluesound Node 2 to make optical work at all. I guess you are expecting the auto detection of the Phantom to switch over to optical on its own. It won't do this because the Node 2 outputs at all times. It also means the Phantom will not go into power saving mode at all. The only thing you need to do is to switch to another source in Spark to get it to go into low power, and to select Optical in Spark manually when needed. No rebooting or disconnecting of anything required.
