Since the dos2 update I can't get my 2 golds to play in stereo anymore consistently, after every time I restart them they play in stereo for few minutes before going to back to be playing individually and creating a big mess of a sound. In the devialet app they still show as stereo pair while not playing as stereo. What a shit show I got myself in to after updating them? ??

This has been my problem as well. I now have everything hooked up to an ethernet switch and that has improved the stability to some extent. The app suggests that if you have them hooked up via ethernet then that will be the preferred communication method. I've noticed a few interesting things. First, if I power up the system things will work for some variable amount of time and then almost always the left will drop out, power cycle back on and then reconnect to the stereo pair. When this happens it tends to make a garbled electronic noise before power cycling. I have to reconnect via Spotify connect and then I can stream music again. Second, even in the ethernet setup some variable amount of time will pass and then they seem to slightly unsync, making as you say, a mess of the stereo sound. I then have to power cycle everything to re-sync. I'm suspicious it may be adjusting the volume via airplay that screws up the stereo pair, which seems to remain stable longer if I just leave the volume alone. Third, if I suddenly unplug the ethernet switch the right will drop out, but the left will keep streaming. I'm thinking maybe the left acts as the airplay point for both of them in the new DOS 2. All interesting observations, however, I'm not sure what any of it really means. I've contacted Devialet to see what they think. I suppose they're troubleshooting things as well. I'm going to try a direct optical connection this weekend and see what that does. I was excited about DOS 2 so that I could move the golds to a more optimal location in my house and use WiFi, but I had to spend the afternoon today rewiring the house so I could get ethernet to them. So far I'm missing the stability of the old DOS.
