DOS2 - Impressions?

[msg]

I upgraded two phantom classics and a dialog to DOS2. It’s awful. Very unstable. I tried removing the dialog, thinking fewer components would increase stability, but that made the system even worse. I’ve had one or both speakers just stop playing randomly, even though both speakers appeared in the app and responded to tapping the speaker icon in the app. Sometimes the left speaker craps out while the right speaker continues to play, even though the music is being fed to the left speaker’s optical input! Sometimes the app doesn’t display the optical input as a choice for one or both speakers (even though I have active devices connected to the optical inputs on both speakers); sometimes they eventually appear, and sometimes not. It’s quite incredible to me that software/firmware this lacking would be unleashed on customers.

Others posted that firmware version 2.8.5 resolved their issues with DOS2. What version do you have on your Phantoms and Dialog? Also some got problems because they did not have the same version on all their devices.

All devices are v. 2.8.5

Forgot to thank you for commenting, streamy. Also, I thought some of the instability might have arisen from switching between inputs (dialog airplay and optical in the initial setup and the optical inputs of the two phantoms in the phantom only setup). So I bought an audio mixer and feed the sources into that and take the output from that and feed it into the dialog optical input. That way I can use either of my sources without changing inputs in the devialet system with the app; all sources are fed through the mixer into the dialog optical input. It’s still early, but that seems to be a bit more stable, but overnight something happened and I needed to use the app to reselect the dialog optical input and reset the volume. :-( I want to be able to set and forget the devialet system.
