As liquitech correctly indicates only one component in your Phantom setup needs to feature airplay to make the setup airplay compatible. To see if your Phantom is airplay compatible you configure it as Solo and check if you can enable the airplay feature in Spark. Even the first gen Phantoms can be fed through airplay when you use it together with a 2nd gen Dialog through its airplay. It can very well be that Devialet updated the new Phantoms with airplay and ADH2 at the same time.
Regarding Golding your Phantom or going with the Evolution instead: Golding brings 3dB compared to Silver and at least up to now a significantly improved SQ compared to the other Phantoms. The alternative way brings 3dB more if doubling the setup or the flexibility to place the additional Phantoms in other rooms in a multiroom setup. As owner of a pair of Golds I would now go for additional Phantoms for multichannel (I’m optimistic this comes in the future) or a multiroom setup. Without owning Golds I would Gold my Silver or White Phantoms to get a pair of Golds. It sounds so great and HQ!
