Here is my system setup which is close to what you want and it works well.

1. I use an Apple TV 4K connected to a Sony OLED TV via HDMI (Apple TV is both compatible with AirPlay 2 HDMI CEC so you need Apple TV remote gold app)

2. I use the digital output variable from Sony TV (if your TV does not have any audio input on your headphone jack on the TV) and connected to BL 8000 using the stereo to RCA L / R cables. These cables are easy to find ...

3. The Sony TV has the option to send audio to all audio sources simultaneously. This effectively lets the TV's acoustic surface speakers act as the center channel with the BL8000 being L / R and you end up with a much wider sound stage. The Sony TV has an inbuilt subwoofer so the overall effect is better than just the BL8000. If you send audio to the Apple TV via AirPlay 2, the HDMI CEC feature will wake up the speakers and you are good to go!

4. While the BL8000 lacks for proper bass. To correct for this I added a BL2 subwoofer to the mix. So the connection is now TV to sub and sub speakers. Sounds Heavenly provided the cables. Problem is that the speakers are now ready to be turned on and off. The bass is much better though ...

5. Since I had other B & O speakers around I had an experiment to chain 2 x BL2, 2x BL 8000 and 2x BL6000 in this exact set with an additional stereo splitter going to my TV. So I'm up with Left Going to 1BL2, which connected to a BL8000 + BL 6000 and right doing the same on the other side. The overall sound was pretty impressive goal I think I was more than happy to be all over the world when using AirPlay 2!

6. To end it all ... I did a final experient where I did the same Apple TV and Sony TV but switched the complex BL8000, BL 2 and BL 6000 config with 2 A9 beoplay speakers. Both speakers were placed as L/R next to the TV. I could get perfect AirPlay from Apple TV to both speakers with no audio sync issues AND when wired as L/R the A9 sounded better! All-in-all...the newer B&O speakers are just better so whatever DAC you use (Connect is not a good DAC) you're running up against the BL8000 quality...

Hi Jaffrey

Yeah I also posted on the english forum but no response there.

Okay after reading your message I see what you've done and it's pretty smart. Well done. I didn't knew sending the audio to the Apple TV would automatically wake up the speakers without putting the TV on... I wish I knew !

It's a bit too late because (I don't know if you translated my previous message) I managed to find a solution through the Sonos Connect that I finally ordered. And everything works very well with it, I'm super happy, Sonos has a wonderful application that is very intuitive and convenient, and I can use both the speakers via wi-fi streaming with my smartphone AND the TV (that automatically take the priority when on -or not, I can set that as I want with Sonos).

So finally the difference with your option is that I don't use the sound of the TV built in speakers... But this solution allow me to do multi-room TV/streaming (if I decide to take some stereo Sonos speakers) in the future.

For the moment I find the bass and the overall quality restitution from the 8000 are very okay. I'm thinking about buying an alternative DAC to the Sonos Connect in-built one (that is nice, but I've heard it could be better -just read you said it in your message !), like the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital, what do you think about it ? What can you recommend me ?

Thank you for your answer 

Hello,

Petit problème !

Depuis aujourd’*** j’ai remarqué un sifflement discret mais qui s’entend bien dans mes 8000, plus présent d’ailleurs sur l’un que sur l’autre, et ce sifflement persiste même sans diffusion de musique. Tout était pourtant nickel hier et toute la semaine précédente !

Je me demande quelle peut en être la cause... j’ai déjà essayé de tout débrancher et rebrancher, sans résultats...

Peut-être devrais-je nettoyer les haut parleur en retirant le tissu avant ? Ils n’ont pas été utilisés durant 10 ans.

Je me demande également si mon cable management est correct, ayant enroulé les cables avec scratch à un endroit... 

J’ai réfléchis également à un potentiel défaut de ces derniers, mais étant donné que tout marchait parfaitement récemment... je ne vois pas comment cela serait possible !

En vous remerciant

All powered speakers that I know of a hiss. I believe it is called a speakers 'noise floor'. I have been able to reduce it via a combination of good quality cables, power supply and DAC. There are many really good DACs out there and I believe there are audiophile experts. 

My comments also have a slight hiss that I can hear if I put my ears right to the ot speaker from 3-4 ft away.

My 2 cents worth.
