Devialet Phantom

[zootreeves (Ben Reeves)]

Does the roon team have any plans to support the Devialet Phantom? https://en.devialet.com/phantom/#discover

Playback happens through the spark app which has its own protocol, but berhaps it shares some similarities with Devialet AIR.

Thanks

Hi the Phantom was discussed in the Hardware End Points Supported by Roon topic.

Hardware End Points Supported by Roon

OH I wish! I was as their office 2 months ago in Paris, talking about integrating with their Expert line by supporting AIR natively. They were open to that, but we’ve both been very busy and it hasn’t gone anywhere yet.

When I brought up the Phantom, they flat out refused, as they want users to use their Spark app.

Hi guys,

While Phantom uses proprietary protocol to communicate with Spark, it uses HTTP to receive sound streams.

In fact, on Devialet Chat Forum they show advanced users how to point Phantom to an HTTP stream to use.
If Roon would be able to provide an HTTP server, Phantom could be tuned in to it.

A single starting mode should be selected probably (f.e. 192/24), then Roon would upconvert anything lesser to that format.

I think once the Roon API is released we’ll see some enterprising forum member write a Roon plugin to do this - seems pretty simple, a quick Python script ought to do it!
