I envy your ability to play music at all. This is my listening experience:
I’ve grown accustomed to the Roon interface. Discovery has improved greatly in Tidal, but at the time I adopted it that wasn’t the case. Roon helped bridge the gap between an extensive local file collection and a move to streaming, and allows me to blend the two worlds nicely.
Grouping speakers and playing to different rooms is a nice feature.
The family has Roon on their phones, so everyone can skip a track or play a track rather than trying to sort out which device or streaming service is controlling the speakers at any given time.
Sorry about your listening experience. The 2.12 series of firmware has been extremely buggy for me. I’ve never reset my speakers so many times.
I’ve been rotating through the three quick clicks, long 10 second press with two different sound notifications, and visiting the IP address of the speakers to do a full factory reset, with varied temporary success. Support told me to switch to PLC but I’m finding it’s more consistently stable on Auto.
I’ve had my phantoms now for three years, and this last month or two has been the worst experience so far. I’m tired of constantly trying to get my speakers to work, rather than just enjoying music from them.
UPDATE: As per Devialet support, I connected both Phantoms via Ethernet to the router. They work! But now I'm moving to a house where the modem/router are nowhere near where I'm going to place the Phantoms. Any suggestions on a good router for the Phantoms? Devialet essentially said mesh routers won't work.
