“On Phantom Premier, transition to our new software platform is scheduled for the second half of 2019. You will have the option to replace Spark with the Devialet app and enjoy all the benefits of the new OS.
We also aim to bring you new streaming protocols through free software updates, which will join Airplay, Spotify Connect and UPnP that were introduced this year across all our products.”
Maybe as Phantom Premier owners we should read this message from Devialet differently: With Dialog and Spark we already have Airplay, Spotify Connect and UPnP. In addition we also have Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Radio Stations, Multiroom, sync of up to 20 Phantoms!
Let’s enjoy all that for at least the next 12 months knowing that the other platform is still in the infancy, not on that level of what Spark offers and regarding reliability let others do the beta phase. No need to go again through all the updates to receive a more or less functionning system. Remember, how long it took Devialet to offer gapless play within albums but also, when mixing multiple sources. Now this works well in Spark. What I’m a bit saddened is that Spark and Dialog are close to be well working. When Devialet would remove the few almost on one hand countable bugs from Spark and Dialog the system would be great. It would only be in need of RAAT and then for me perfect. Shame on that missed opportunity.
Let’s enjoy what we have with the system (those that managed to make their network working with Devialet) and help those that have not yet reached the yet possible stability of the Phantom system. No need for me to spend more money to an enlarged Devialet ecosystem for now and happily listening to an incredible sound quality for the buck
