Got some info on the coming "B&O Playmaker". Supposed to replace the need of an Apple Express.

  • Hiqh Quality DAC
  • Intended to be placed visible, with possibility to e.g adjust volume with a "wheel like" interface as Beosound 3.
  • Possible to connect speakers. (B&O speakers I assume)
  • Airplay capable.
  • Possible to command with a Beo4. 
  • In store pretty soon as I understand.

Anyone can confirm or add to the list?

Anyone seen pictures?

Will this be the first, and new, Airplay Beonet for multiroom placement?

Probably the successor of Beolink?

Looking forward to it! Streaming music through the whole house, no cables, and a perfect sound with the ease of controlling it with your BeoRemote.

Let's wait, see and hear . . . Very interesting!

The Beonet project has been "postponed", from what I understand from several dealers and there are going to be some intermediate solutions...
