Missing Airplay in DOS2

[seb]

Hey @seb I have a support ticket in on that. After a week of radio silence I’ve been asked to provide the serial numbers for all three devices. I’ll update again once I have more, or hopefully a potential solution. I reset the phantoms (three click routine) after the dialog firmware had been updated and still no Airplay option is appearing.

I bought my phantom in mid 2018, when they were being marketed as Phantom Elevate, but on researching some of the logic of the serial numbers, I think I was sold old 2016 stock (serial starts with J and somewhere someone indicated that the letters change each year, and L represented 2018: not sure the accuracy of that info just yet). I assumed I had airplay capable phantom but maybe the dialog was doing that work the whole time (I’ll fight that battle next with my hifi shop once I establish through this ticket what the true capabilities are: without the ability to revert back, turn off the dialog and check spark, I can’t tell if I have airplay or not if — as the FAQ states — the way to find out if your phantom are airplay capable is by checking spark (https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/artic...ompatible-)).

I’m only mildly put out right now, as RAAT via a rpi-hifiberry optical is my primary means of streaming, but if the vintage of my phantom affects its compatibility with any future DOS2 Roon-RAAT integration, I’m going to feel a bit taken.

Thanks. Yes, keep me updated. I am aware that my Phantoms do not have Airplay as I was an early mover. Only a later Dialog model provided that functionality for me in DOS1. As the Dialog connects to my Phantoms after the upgrade for Optical I guess the Airplay issue can be resolved via update. Hopefully we will also get an interface for settings like name of the Airplay renderer and password. I now use UPnP for my music library and TIDAL. I really hope that Devialet will provide a solution soon as Airplay is very convenient for ad hoc music listening as well as Apple TV watching.

BTW I have Firmware 2.8.3 installed and I read somewhere else that support seems to be able to update via a tag linked to the serialnumber. Let's hope they have a solution in the works or even ready.
