Yes, an excellent summary Flohmann, far more interesting an informative than anything I've read from the official press!
Picking up on Thumb’s point, could you see if they were actually using Spark? I notice on Devialet’s website that Spark is still listed as “coming soon”, despite the fact that they are taking orders for Dialog. I am assuming that Spark will be available when the first Dialog deliveries start in a couple of weeks, but you never know with Devialet.
Regarding your point #2. Have you ever heard the Devialet Ensemble? It strikes me that two Phantoms with Dialog would be a little cheaper than the Ensemble. From your comments, I wouldn’t be surprised if many folk found that they actually preferred the Phantom option to the Ensemble with respect to sound quality. Although if you wanted to run a turntable or multiple input sources then the Ensemble would have many advantages.
