I can see no difference between an ordinary Phantom I and Phantom I Custom, however. The Dante support is via the Dante-to-optical adapter. I'm not even sure the Dante adapter is included in the box.
On the Phantom II there is a substantial difference with balanced analog or AES/EBU digital input and Dante on ethernet as opposed to ethernet streaming (RAAT, Airplay...) optical and analog on the "home" version.
For @DJ Storm if the Bose mixer supports Airplay, Dante or UPnP you may get that to work over ethernet with a Phantom I, but the only way to have low latency is Optical Direct Mode (where the Date adapter will work).
Unfortunately the Bose mixer is not Dante, so I've seen this Tascam AE-4D | Four-Channel AES/EBU-Dante Converter. So if I get the Phantom 1 into Optical Direct Mode using the previously mentioned method, will I be able to connect a data cable using this Dante converter? Would I be able to do it with the normal Phantom 1, or would I need the Phantom 1 custom? I understand with Dante the latency would be 0.15ms which would be perfect.
Alternatively I've seen a Behringer UCA222 Ultra low latency converter that has analogue in and optical out. I might give that a try with my Phantom II's as the Behringer is a very cheap option to start with and might work well enough.
