That was a guy (a former B&O employee by the way), who had made ‘a product with great commercial potential’ and was willing to offer that product to the world, risking his investments.
That he was not aware of the rules of the forum, is another thing….that I must admit.
None the less he makes interesting products, that surely might be interesting for the Beoworld members.
Sorry for this hick-up….I just couldn’t help it.
Enough for now!

Stunning result you have here, congratulations !
I am very curious about that enclosure ! Is that something you designed ? Or is it an off the shelf part ?
Full disclosure here, I have an ongoing project that bears some resemblance with yours, but I have already settled on an more conventional enclosure.

My B&O Icons:
Very interesting project, why not open-source it?
Fascinating product. It's hard to say how big of a market something like this would have given the vintage nature of its application. But I'd certainly be interested personally. I have an older Beogram and a Beosound 9000 that I believe could employ this.
Open sourcing it or having a distributor for it would be an interesting development.

Open sourcing the whole thing would not be that much useful. For the average DIY people it will be much too difficult to build - mostly because of the processor part.
Given the risk of low sales numbers - making a regular product out of that would result in being somewhat on the "expensive" side. Probably more than the devices it can control are worth on the 2nd hand market nowadays.
Probably not a huge issue if it would be an original beo product. Nevertheless in the end it would be a 3rd party unit and as matador wrote a few days ago I also see this as a critical point.

Had some more thoughts about this one.
What could probably work out is developing a light version sold as a semi-finished kit to DIY people.
So just the ML and DL interface with a single USB connection for power, audio and data.
Anybody interested in that?
Happy to donate a certain amount to beoworld for every unity sold or something similar.

That sounds interesting. Which use cases could this scaled version be used for please? Is there a web interface or app that would allow to control ML or Datalink audio systems via WiFi and to stream these audio sources via AirPlay (there will not be a network RJ45 connection?)
Beyond a missing RIIA preamplifier which other functions will be missing from the light version?
I would be interested in further integration of new and legacy products, just not sure what new features and use cases it will bring (as a light version).
