Nope, not needed....

I used to suffer from occasional issues caused, presumably, by dropouts in communication between the Dialog and Phantoms. These more than often occurred overnight needing a morning reboot etc. to get all working again. These issues varied from missing Phantoms to volume resetting and most annoying different latency/delay between Spark rooms. Not good for a five speaker home cinema setup.
Since switching to Direct Optical mode, all has been rock solid. Never a blip. Unsurprising, I suppose, as they now simply work as active speakers.
However, full disclosure, I recently decided to switch off all five Phantoms overnight until early evening BUT only in an attempt to reduce my energy consumption.
Of the 5 phantoms I have (3 gold and 2 classic) 1 gold and 1 classic require resets periodically to keep them working. What's interesting is that the gold with the issue is running a new firmware than the other 2 golds... I'm going to be traveling for for work soon and am afraid I may get angry calls from the wife when she can't get sound... :-(
