Using Apples new aux to usb c 1.2 m cable for the Beosound Theatre

Hello.  I have been using the beosound theatre for a while now and really admire it.  I was considering connecting my turntable to it and needed a cable.  I know that B&O makes an official aux to usb c cable for this purpose, but unfortunately the B&O shop in my region has indefinitely closed.  So I was wondering if the new bi-directional apple aux to usb c cable would work.  Apple made it for the 2024 AirPods Max.  where the input was to be the aux and the output to the usb c.  its a similar condition as how the beosound theatre would work.  Can anyone confirm that this cable would serve the purpose.  Thanks

It should work.

…and if it doesn’t (which I doubt), Apple has a free return policy on its store !

Took the plunge, bought the cable and tried it.  But didn’t work.  I was very hopeful, but I guess I need a proper analogue cable for this.

Strange. Did you try to add a powered hub ? Maybe the cable needed more power… The original Apple USB-C to jack for the AirPods Max is what we can call a “proper analogue cable” as the DAC is inside the cable…
