I have been successful in putting two Phantom Golds into optical direct mode and use them as front left and right with the rest of my other passive surround speakers. I had to use Audyssey room correction and the sound is quite good. Now I also have Reactor and want to use it as the center channel. Will anyone please tell me if there is latency? Devialet help center told me how to set up the Golds, but told me that the Reactor will have latency. I am not sure from reading this forum if the latency is less than 1ms or there is a problem of unacceptable latency in direct mode?

The limitation with the reactor implementation is that there is no way to choose which channel the speaker will play from the optical stream. So you need to split the L/R channels before the signal reaches the reactors. Using a simple optical splitter will give you 2 reactors playing a stereo mix, not true L/R.Spoke Alexandre from Devialet Custom Installation and found that the reactor's latency in their "custom install mode" is hard coded at 190ms. There is going to be an update that reduces it but he didn't know when it will be released. So now i'm looking at a speaker management system that will allow me to delay the Phantom Premiers by 190ms so that I can align them with the reactors. I am seriously annoyed right now...
Below is the procedure to turn on Custom Mode ("optical direct") on a reactor:
Reactor Custom Mode
* Mini-jack connection only (both Analog and Optical)
* Volume fixed to 100%
* Volume setting available on sensor buttons
* BT + Airplay disabled
* Hardware reset only (protected from Power cycling)
Step1: Factory Reset
— Plug-in your Reactor and wait for the LED light to turn white or green
— Long Press on the back button (10sec)
— LED should turn purple and produce a distinctive short sound
— After ~1mn LED will fade in White then turn solid Green
Step 2: Entering Custom mode
— Press simultaneously (+) and (-) top button for 10 seconds
— LED will blink White then turn Green again when you release
— Plug-in your mini-jack (optical or analog) to the back of Reactor within one minute
— LED will turn from Green to solid White
— Unplug Reactor for 10 seconds and plug it back
— That’s it! Reactor is ready in Custom Mode!
— You can check that the setup worked by pressing on the
Bluetooth logo on top of the speaker
—> The LED should not turn Blue
The instructions are straight from Devialet. Enjoy!
