I have identified all the Dante components, the PoE network switch and all the necessary cables. Your work here has been invaluable. Thank you.I can't think of anything else. One thing I found was that I needed to swap ethernet cables for the Dante dongles a couple of times during the setup because the dongles would randomly drop off the network. So have some extras around in case that happens to you. Recently I had to swap out all of the optical cables for 3 gold phantoms I have due to them dropping out randomly. I found that the lowest end version from Audioquest correct the problem.
Given that I will need optical direct mode enabled, the Phantoms must remain on DOS1. I will also need to find an iPhone to do this (have only Android phone!). I also note in this How to thread (thank you @alandbush) that there could be a slim chance that an older Phantom may not have Optical Direct Mode. I have asked that person to send the serial numbers to Devialet to eliminate this slim possibility.
Anything else that I should watch for, be aware of?
Good Luck! I would love to get your thoughts on how the HT sounds after its all setup.
