New Wireless Speaker Beosound A5?

Hi,
A5 doesn't have a line input, so this feature is not present in the app. The only way to physically connect any device to the A5 is to link a PC via the USB-C socket (this doesn't work for analogue audio), then the A5 will act as the PC speaker.
Kind regards, Steve.

Does this include all products on the Mozart platform?
I thought I could connect a Dragonfly to my iPhone and use a connection to the A5, but as you say.. That will not work?
Do you then have a suggestion on how I can play Roon on a Bluesound Node on a Theater?
Doesn't that work either?
Thank you for your answers :)

It seems like B & O engineers have finally realised that USB-C can be used for simultaneously powering and transferring sound signals to the speaker, so if it works, you only need one cable to connect the speaker without the shaky wireless connection.
This technology has existed for many years now (laptops and notebooks), but none of the B&O speakers before A5 were designed that way.

Sonos have done exactly the same with their newly released Aero 100 and 300 speakers.
Hi,
At present, only A9 mk5, Beosound 2 mk3 and Theatre have analogue audio input enabled via their USB-C sockets. A5 can only play audio from a PC via this socket, so your only option for the A5 is to link to a PC and use the PC as your Roon end point.
For the Theatre, this is possible via a Bluesound Node. If you are in United Kingdom (or you have a UK shipping address) then please get in touch via my sponsor link at the foot of the page and I can help with connections. Sorry I can't offer support or shipping to customers outside UK at present.
Kind regards, Steve.

OK, thanks.
I was hoping that I could use a better DAC that's in my pc.. That's why I bought a Audioquest Dragonfly so I could use that instead my pc as an Roon endpoint. (when listening with headphones f.e)
Really hope that BO could be a Roon Ready product soon..
I then have to reconsider what I should do with the A5, sadly as it really is a good speaker with nice punch.

Why not just airplay from your Roon device to the A5?

Honestly….do you really think you can hear a difference using the A5?
