B&O Playmaker?

So I think the Playmaker is like a Beoplay A8 without speakers but with powerlink sockets. Correct?
Clever...
What would be good is a sort of passthrough... For example you could connect this box between your Beolink active and the speakers, so you could use your speakers for AirPlay streaming or for listening to you B&O source.

Yes, Phil. This powerlink passthrough could also be used for connecting a Beovision. So if watching TV you hear the sound of the Beovsion and if you want to listen to music via Airplay you can use your IPhone/IPad/Ipod touch (instead of connecting an Apple TV to Beovision).

Next monthDo you know what kind of timescale we are talking about for this!!!
Yes🙂
EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reckon that will take A LOT of the few BS5 Encore sales!
I'm really pleased for this new product whilst my friends and myself love the BeoPlay A8 / BeoLit12 and it's AMAZING for us with our bijou city loft apartments, there are people with spacious cribs were B&O loudspeakers are needed etc. Sounds very cool! Maybe we will see a B&O small loudspeaker aimed at the laptop listener. BIG ROUND ONES like the BS8 :) that would be funky!
A combination of an Airport Express/Sonos and an external DAC would be great!
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?
I have read all the posts (up to Paul's) and was surprised that no one saw some similarities (except for the shape) with these recent Google leaks:
what with Microsoft announcing yet another attempt at getting into music distribution it seems like the pace is really hotting up.
I spent yesterday re-organising my AV/LAN world and afterwards had a box of audio cables, LAN cables, and mini-routers left over.
Can't wait for a product like this from B&O and I can start removing more wires and gaining greater flexibility.

Hi Elephant :). Honestly I really am sad to see that all Google does today is copy. They where innovating, now they just duplicate. The streaming box, what is that? A crippled Apple TV combined with the features of Spotify. And the speakers look nothing more than any speaker in any hifi-store.
Nothing interesting for me at least :)
