I have 3 Gold Phantoms (2 Gold first edition from when they came out and one of the latest from this year Premier I, 108 dB) I’m using 3 Eero pro mesh (not the latest wifi6 ones) and I’m using WiFi to all three Phantoms with RAAT protocol from a ROCK NUC server. Of course the Phantom internal PLCs could also be running at least between the paired stereo zone. But not cables, only plugged to electricity. The third is running as a single zone and in Roon I have merged the two rooms. Like this all three are playing everything I throw at them. No single dropouts for weeks of playing, dead stable. I can stream from Qobuz 192k/24bit, no problem. Of course Roon reduces Bitrate to 96/24 as this is the highest the Phantoms accept. Then within the Phantoms this is even reduced to 48/24 before conversion to analog signal. Hope this information is useful.
