Back on discussion, does anyone have a photo of the Playmaker - they do exist. My dealer was describing it to me earlier.

Yes they exist and I have seen a photo of it on a red background. Which is probably going to be used in advertising. However I don't have a copy of it but it looks just as I described it.

Yes, I can confirm... i have the documentation with me.  Small device intended to be wall mounted. Has a mute/standby button and volume scroll wheel in front. Power supply, ethernet, line-in at back.  Compatible with Airplay & DLNA.  Can be controlled using Beo4 & Beo6 and also Beoplayer App, iTunes, Windows Media Player or other app for any IOS or Android device.

£350 per device... connects to 1 set of B&O speakers.

Does it also have a line out, so I can connect it to my beosound 4?

Yes, there is an option where you can set the volume to a fixed level, so the powerlink-output is your line out. I guess you need an optional cable from RJ45 to RCA/Minijack to connect to your Beosound or Beovision. There is also a line-in if you don't use DNLA or Airplay.

If you use an Airport Express now, solely to drive Beolabs, the Playmaker is a must-have device because of the better DAC. Nice!

... a bit off topic, but have look at this tread /forum/imported-unmapped/masterlink-to-rca-cable-for-beolab-2000#post-2193844

its already in bang and olufsen web page

Just an observation, according to the spec on the Bang Olufsen page for the Playmaker, it does not support WMA lossless... Which makes me wonder how useful it would be for BS5/BM5 where it is recommended to ripp into WMA lossless (which I have done)???

If only they could incorporate the Playmaker in the BeoLab 3500 :-/
