Last minute Summer Devialet Event at OAC with Mathieu Pernot! 12 July 2018

I too enjoyed the day even though as being a Phantom owner, most of the discussion was interesting but not relevant.
Because of the statement that only a small percentage of users prefer the Spark app, I have spent some time comparing Tidal via the Tidal iOS app against Tidal via Spark.
I might be misleading myself but to me via Spark has a better presentation and more enjoyable.
I assume that via Tidal app the connection is using Airplay but via Spark it is native from Dialog?
If so and there is a better quality then I cannot understand why so few use Spark and this is the frustrating point for me. I was hoping for improvements so that UPNP would be embedded into Spark rather than the juggling between something like 8player for UPNP and Spark for Tidal.
I only have a simple setup, either Naim unitiserve or Tidal but still find it a bind to mess about with different apps.
The optical in on the Dialog still has a crackle so I abandoned that connection in favour of UPNP which is stable and crackle free for me.

I guess I need to be patient and hope that they turn attention to Roon for Phantoms sometime down the line once they have the worldwide certification in the bag.
