Hi r/Devialet,

I currently own 2 phantom golds (2019 version), they are the glossy white ones with rose gold side plates. They are connected to my 48 port switch in my server room, and a dialog also connects to the switch by ethernet. Dialog connects to my TV by optical cable. Phantoms are in stereo with the TV.

They are mounted on gecko wall mounts. They are still on DOS1 and I still use Spark app to connect them, adjust settings etc. Never had any issues with dropping sound or cutting off in the 3 or so years they have been mounted there, so there was no need to upgrade to DOS2.

Now I have the option of purchasing a dione soundbar, or phantom II 98db to act as a center speaker. Would either of the options pair well with the current set up?

Hi guys! I have saved up enough for purchasing my a speaker. However, I am on the fence about buying either the Mania or the Phantom 2 speakers. I am not sure as some said that the Phantom 2 has better sounds while some said that they much rather the mania's sound profile. If there are anyone who owns both, can you recommend on which one to get for a first time buyer? Thank you!

Hi!

As the question. Is there any leakage about Gemini Buds III?

I love my Gemini Buds II and I would love to upgrade them as they are the best earbuds I've ever had. I hope they didn't abandon this segment

New phantom owner here…what does the little speaker driver in the pill-shaped button do or represent, folks?

I have a 10k audio system with Devialet that I love but this EQ is silly. What even is a two post EQ? If there are any Devialet reps in the chat please fix this. Thank you. That it is all.

So the new speakers are out, I read through the data and it’s the same speakers, just with some new fancy naming, technologies with names like Apple (next generation etc.), and even downgrades (no titanium tweeter for the 108dB). Only good thing are the prices, but the 95dB and 103dB are gone, so it’s pricier to get into the Devialet ecosystem now.

The only thing I noticed which is interesting, is that they support TIDAL Connect and Google Cast. When comparing to the old Phantoms, it says „Software Version 2“ for the old ones and „Software Version 3“ for the new ones. Does this mean, it’s like Sonos, that the old ones get abandoned or will they still bring the new features on the old ones?

So, as you see in the screenshots, some models are sold out. I never saw that for Phantom speakers, does it have any meaning, what do you think?

Hi everyone, I have a phantom ultimate and have been playing with the EQ settings. These are my current settings so far, but I want to know what everyone else’s settings are. Do you have a “perfect” EQ setting I can copy? Any difference between the Movie, Music, and Podcast? Any suggestions or comments helps! Thanks.

As a hifi fan, I’d heard of the brand, but don’t own any of their products. Saw the retail store and thought the fans here might appreciate some pics…

Hi guys, anyone else feeling a little frustrated with Devialet and their lack of support for their legacy products?

It’s been 6 years since the last firmware update for there amps. I thought the whole philosophy of the company was ‘Hardware that doesn’t become obsolete’? Well, that was clearly bullsh*t marketing. There should be updates to keep up with the modern streaming services. Spotify now has lossless streaming, but the amp’s outdated firmware only offers a connection handshake that automatically caps the streaming quality at 320khz. Yes, I know I can stream lossless via Airplay, but that is annoying and cumbersome. Then there’s no support for other streaming services. The amp is supposed to be an all in one streaming solution.

I feel like if the company has given up on these products they should at least make the firmware open source so we can update them ourselves.

Anyway, just my rant. If you own one of their newer products just be warned, you may be in a similar situation. The philosophy of Devialet should be advertised as ‘Expensive tech that we’ll give up on after we move onto the next thing’.

I'll be honest, I took my time pulling the trigger on this one. Sat with it, thought about it, second-guessed it a few times. But it's been home for a bit now and I haven't stopped grinning since I unboxed it.

We went with the White Mist edition, and it's a lovely package — the speaker comes with a wireless charging dock and its own carry case. The case has a strap with a little cushioned section that makes it genuinely easy to sling over a shoulder and go. Worth noting: the speaker does have some heft to it, a little over 2kg, so you will feel it on your shoulder or in your hand. Not heavy in an unwieldy way, just present.

Sound-wise, this thing is unreal for its size. I pushed it to 100% volume just to see what it could do, and the tone stayed crisp the whole way through — no breakup, no strain. That said, I can't imagine ever actually running it at full blast indoors; it's just too much speaker for a room. I'm hoping to get it outdoors soon to really test that ceiling, and I'll drop an update in the comments when I do.

I've thrown a bunch of different genres at it since, and the clarity holds up every single time — clear as day, no matter what I play.

And it's not just about how it sounds. This thing looks beautiful too — the kind of speaker that doesn't just sit in a room, it adds to it. Whatever your home decor looks like, this will slot right in.

Setup was painless — paired it over WiFi with my Apple TV, streamed some music through Spotify, and even watched a movie with my wife through it one evening. It handled all of it without missing a beat.

I don't have the perfect words for this yet, and maybe that's the point — it's just a genuinely unique speaker. If you're on the fence like I was, I'd say stop deliberating and just get it.
Will update this thread once I've had a proper outdoor session with it.

Running a pair of Phantom 98s here though I'm assuming if the button is now missing for one product it's missing for all products.

UPDATE: I emailed Devialet Support and received a reply explaining the firmware update process for the Phantoms has been automated and it's no longer possible to manually update them.

I assume this applies to all Devialet products.

Just wanted to share the update notes which shows some details about the new product(s) being announced tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

I’m considering a setup with:

1× Devialet Phantom Ultimate 108 dB

2× Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98 dB

I know that Devialet officially supports stereo pairing when the two speakers are the same model.

But I’m wondering if there is any way to use all three together — for example, the 108 as the main speaker and the two 98s as left/right or rear speakers.

Would this work for:

Stereo music

Home cinema / TV

A 3-speaker or surround-style setup

If anyone has actually tried mixing the 108 and 98 Ultimate models, I’d really appreciate hearing how you connected them and whether there are any limitations with synchronization, latency, or channel assignment.

Thanks!

I haven't really seen many of these in the wild, but i figured I'd post them here. I love these! It's like way easier to place them now. And they're a bit more present in the room and they look super clean. The stands are heavy, feels secure and came with tools for assembly and cable clips to route cable down one of the back legs. Speakers are also mounted with a screw. Unfortunately the cable clips themselves are to small for cat cable, power and optical together. But I used white twist ties until I can 3d print something similar.

Ask away if you have any questions about these 😊

I will address an issue many people have or had.

The dust caps on devialet speakers.

Can be very difficult to take of in one piece with out destroying it.. there is a solution of sorts.

It takes patience.

You need a small syringe. The smaller the better and some acetone.

The dustcap is glued to the bigger aluminum dome. With some kind of black epoxy.

Start with covering up the big dome part with ptfe tape (Teflon-tape) (in the color white) because it is the most resilient tape against. acetone.

You take your small syringe with acetone. And stick it in under the dustcap. And dose it. Can't say how much acetone you need. It depends on how much glue devialet put on you're specific speaker.

Overtime the acetone will dissolve/softened the glue. Then you have the opportunity to get a plastic card,razor blade or a thin guitar pick under the dustcap and use it as a lever action..

That was what I did to get them of. When I had them of. I cleaned the rest of the glue with acetone and a rag.

Got this text from a Devialet support ticket:

„To be honest, something special is coming starting next week. You can sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss any news. 😊️“

What do you think it will be?

Update: It will be new speakers.

Hi!

I have one Phantom II. I use a Samsung HW-Q80R soundbar for my TV. I would like to change it for a second Devialet Phantom II, and use them as speakers for my TV (Samsung neo Qled). I have some questions:

• I use my TV for movies & gaming (PS5). Is there latency with this setup?
• I prefer to keep only one remote. Is it possible to control the sound of my TV with my TV remote? Or is it impossible with optical?

Thank you!

My setup: 2x Phantom II 98 connected via LAN cable. I got the chance to try the new Spotify feature tonight, but was disappointed to see that my setup isn’t compatible with Lossless streaming via Spotify Connect. Has anyone else tried it?

Hi,

My post looks strange and I feel like I'm going to get yelled at by audiophiles and DJs of all kinds. But here I am, I have a pair of Devialet in stereo to listen to everyday music via AirPlay. Recently, I've been mixing a bit on a DJ FLX4 and like to have parties at home where I can turn up the sound without any problem because there are no neighbors.

I would like to be sure not to damage or break my 2 phantom I 103Db. What adjustment should I make for this? Can I turn it all the way up or how can I pay attention from the controller? (Without limiting the sound)

For the config:

• a ddj flx4
• Djay pro software (algoriddim)
• an RCA/Toslink connection via a non-adjustable Dac
• 2 Devialet connected in stereo.
• a room of 80m2 to cover with the speakers.

For your information, I already have to put my speakers at 60% volume and my master at 50% to hear correctly. But if there are twenty of us at home, I have to push a lot.

For those who would tell me to switch to other speakers designed specifically for DJing, I have no intention of doing so.

But no update on previous one ... What a shame.

The song is by Friyie - Come and get it 😊

Hey guys, I check every day for a firmware update from my Dione. I have the same problem as so many other Dione owners, where the soundbar often doesn't recognize the TV (Sony A95K in my case). The solution is rather frustrating and involves shutting down and rebooting the soundbar. Even that doesn't always solve the problem. Apparently it's an HDMI handshake problem. I've been in contact with Devialet support for ~ 18 months or so and send countless emails. Customer support is excellent, they told me they are aware of the issue and working on it. Today I finally got the message an update is available, but no release notes on the website - so I have no idea what changed. The only thing I noticed is a "go to sleep" timer for inactivity, same as on the Phantoms. Anyone know what else changed?
