Oh. Just found this thread. A similar one here: https://devialetchat.com/Thread-Direct-O...ode-How-to
Here are my findings from the other thread, hope it is not against the rules to cross-post:
1) The easiest way to set it up is, as mentioned earlier in this thread, thanks to @aryelevin , is to connect them via Ethernet, perform full reset, and go to the embedded web page.
2) Worked fine enough for me, good lipsync, even after disconnecting Ethernet cables! @gxcross I think you must have some other issue. Did you check out DOS 2.11.5, apparently just published? https://devialetchat.com/Thread-Release-...DOS-2-11-5 mentions "Improvements related to the direct optical mode"!
3) You need some way to reduce the volume, and the app does not recognize devices in direct optical mode :-( Did anyone try direct optical with a remote (old or new)? That would be awesome!
4) You can configure the channel (via the webpage), but for a stereo pair, you'll need some kind of a splitter. As mentioned, the app does not see the speakers any more, so you can not configure them in stereo via app!
5) You can't use any other source (AirPlay, Spotify Connect) any more! Not only it is direct optical, it is optical only! So, only makes sense if you use it exclusively for movies/TV source.
6) Finally, it only works on Premiers, not on Reactors. I am not surprised, the DOS 2.11 release notes clearly state "for Phantom Premier"! @ofrappier I think you should just accept that
