Thank you to Alandbush for this thread. Putting both golds into direct optical mode has solved the maddening issue of phantoms losing the signal everytime the power goes on the blink here in India. Even line level power back ups weren't able to help. Now, the music flows without interruptions, and the power back ups are effective.
At first the powered optical splitter ( one of those cheap powered 20$ ones) would supply only one phantom with the signal. Swapped out the supplied wall wart and plugged in a linear psu ( hdplex) and the problem went away.
Hope this helps someone out there who is struggling with splitter issues.
