Its a pity the BeoSound 5 Encore doesn't support two way remote, I've been looking for a slick front end device with good DAC and two way remote for my BeoLab 3 to play all my digitial music stored in my HTPC. I'd even stomach the AUD5k it cost to buy it in Sydney instead of USD3.7k it cost in USA.

As an Australian B&O customer, the one thing I would dearly wish they fix is their pricing practice.

Hi Bill,

I think there may be more instore (not in store ?) for the BS5.  I have just setup a new macmini as a HTPC, but somehow i think there's going to be more from the BS5 and i wish there would be.  I think ultimately I will ditch the HTPC idea and setup a NAS. But which NAS i'm not sure. 

Someone did mention in another thread a great little app called AirMusic.  That will work with the BS5 i'm sure. 

I did buy another new TV the other day which was delivered (not a BeoVision).  I would love a BV10 but i'm not prepared to pay at prices (even though i have the money) set by overseas? at a point in time when our dollar wasn't as strong as it has been for a while now.

Don't you think you're being a little an*l here? My iPad is almost perma-connected to my BS8 and you don't really see many fingerprints. I don't think a single person has mentioned any fingerprints! They are too keen to discuss the sound quality, design and performance.

I'll tell you, it's 10x finding a track to show to friends using the iPad/BS8 than using three levers on the BS5.

And if you're so worried, give the screen a quick rub over now and again or use an iPod Touch. They are so small, you barely see the device.

Fingerprints on the iPod Touch/iPad are no worse than the metal part of my Beosound 4 always looking "dirty" or the dust that collects on the cover or the BV7-40 screen that's hard to clean due to the film they've added to the surface etc etc.

Don't you think you're being a little an*l here?

?????

That's my opion,and i think that many people think the same way about touch screen.

 koning, im with you all the way on this. thats not because im anti-apple fanzine its fingerprints full stop. anyhows all my beo devices very rarely need a fingerprint removal jolly! but with the touch screen fad one will always need to keep cleaning them. i clean and polish all my beo devices once a fortnight, can any touch screen users can claim to do this??? doubtfull!

Hi Michael,

I'd settle for 2 way remote for the BS5 Encore🙂.Of course my dream would be for the BS5 to be able to play audio and video files.

Razlaw - the OPPO BDP-95 doesn't have audio input so you're out of luck with surround sound decoding for cable set top box. It does however play streaming video. (the first is not a deal breaker for me - I hardly watch anything on cable).If you do need it a surround sound processor/receiver would be needed.
