Hello you lovely BeoWorlders. 

Thanks to last week's live stream being much more successful than I anticipated I thought another might be fun. (Huge thanks to Steve at Sounds Heavenly and Mikipedia) 

This week I have Boss Man Ian joining me and we have a couple of interesting things to discuss with remote support tools and hopefully some news from B&O HQ about future plans. 

If you have any questions you would like us to answer please feel free to leave them here or join us on Friday evening at 20:00 UK time. They don't have to be B&O related, whatever you like. 

All the best, John.

Hi John,

 

Thats cool, thx for the efforts put in to make this happen. 

 

Have a question related to the Stage. Audio stream of HDMI or HDMI ARC sources cant be distributed right now. Any plans for that in the future... or in general whats the game plan to integrate TV sound into the b&o speaker ecosystem. (am not talking about surround but really just TV sounds propagation via Stage to the wireless speakers of B&O) 

 

In addition the line-in source of the stage can already  be distributed but lacks delay feature which creates echo and makes the functionallity pretty much useless. Any outlook for a firmware update to fix that? 

 

Thanks. 

 

Regards

What kind of setup does Bossman Ian have at home? And what are his favourite products?😁

I'd love to know how Richard is coping during the lockdown.

Haven't seen him in a while - assuming he's self isolating.

Just posted this above but if you could deal with on Live Stream that would be great:

1.

I am considering getting a Core and wondered what fellow Beoworlders make of it several years down the line? Is it an enjoyable, mature and reliable product? The app crashed a lot in 2017 and I needed to power cycle/restart it to pull it out of crashing.

2.

Does anyone know if Airplay2 handles 24bit, 96-192khz files if I were to stream them to the Core? It’s not critical but helpful to know when deciding to go with a more pricey classical music streaming plan that offers genuine high resolution material or not.

Thank you very much.

Some questions I have....

Have a Core connected to 50s by optical.

Any thoughts on different connections or sources to maximize the benefit of the 50s?

Any opinions on difference, if any, between Core’s internal Deezer or streaming from Deezer app?

One particular question:

Are you aware of the "hack" consisting to connect a LG C9 to the Eclipse Sound Center and using the B&O app on the C9 to allow communication?

Is it working well ?

Thanks,

Jean

Are B&O aware of the concerns customers have had about their software in recent products and the customer service in recent years?

Do you think B&O will make another audio master or with the era of Airplay, Chromecast etc... are B&O moving away from this concept?

What would you as a dealer like to see B&O make?

What would you as a dealer like to see B&O do with respect to business strategy to make B&O thrive?

What is your favourite B&O TV, speaker, audio, portable ever?
