In 2019, Devialet announced a change in the operating system of its speakers, from DOS 1 to DOS 2, as well as a switch of application from Spark to Devialet. This change was accompanied by a loss of many features , including the ability to broadcast web radios and streaming services from the Devialet application. The only solution is Bluetooth streaming for Android users or with AirPlay for people with an Apple device. Unfortunately, both of these solutions limit the audio quality delivered and compress your music .
Octavio Stream
If you want to stream web radios or streaming services such as Qobuz, Tidal or Deezer on your Devialet speakers, in Hi-Res, Octavio Stream is the solution.
With this network player, you can stream all your digital music via Wi-Fi, as well as thousands of high-resolution web radios , without distance limitations and without sound compression .
How to connect Octavio Stream?
To connect Octavio Stream to your Devialet speakers you may need to purchase a Toslink/Mini-Toslink 3.5mm adapter , easily found for less than ten euros. All you have to do then is connect Octavio Stream to your Devialet speaker with the Mini-Toslink/Toslink cable supplied with the Octavio Stream as well as the Toslink/Mini-Toslink adapter if necessary.
If you have a pair of Phantoms you can then group your two speakers using the Devialet application so that the stereo sound is clearly broadcast left/right and you can finally broadcast your music and web radios from the Octavio Virtuose application.
TV usage
If you also want to stream the sound from your TV to your speakers, simply connect your TV to the other Devialet speaker using a Mini-Toslink/Toslink cable. Make sure your speakers are grouped correctly with the Devialet app.
The TV-Octavio Stream switch is automatic, so you can switch from TV listening to music without interfering with the system configuration.
In summary, Octavio Stream is a perfect solution for simply streaming your music in high fidelity and taking full advantage of your Devialet speakers.
