Wow, it looks very cool in pictures! The price is over the top though, even for B&O! Anyway, I have some questions that somebody in the know will hopefully be able to answer:
1) Are the specs (connections etc., etc.) sufficient to ensure FULL HIFI quality (if ripped in CD quality) - i.e. is it "worthy" to be connected to Beolab 5 speakers?
2) If I'm correct the Beomaster 5 serves as the "brain" and the Beosound 5 as the navigation point. If so, is it possible to connect several Beosound 5s in different rooms to one central Beomaster 5, thereby effectively creating a type of link system with navigation screens in each link room (if not, you would presumably be controlling in the blind in link rooms which obviously makes no sence what so ever!).
3) Can you operate the system via the TV screen (like Beomedia) - this is really necessary since B&O appears to not offer two way remote! If it is indeed possible to operate the system via a TV screen, could you potentially just buy the Beomaster 5 and skip the Beosound 5 and "just" operate the whole thing in a similar way the Beomedia works?
4) Will the Beomaster 5 replace the built-in Beomedia in Beovision 9?
5) When importing music from the PC, is it possible to import play lists? If not, then it's really a deal breaker!
6) I agree with the complaint that the unit doesn't include a DVD drive (meaning you will need an additional "box" which, by the way, B&O will stop producing according to their new strategy plan!?!) and a radio. You could of course listen to internet radio, but I guess internet radio is often distrubuted in compressed quality (?)and therefore not "worthy" of a HIFI system.......?
