Thanks. I already ordered it from my regular dealer who provides me with great service. Maybe it will come sooner than they estimated.

Wonder if it's some kind of hardware issue or in their wisdom they don't want to sell more beo6 controllers?

Hi Keith,

what do you mean by "its a starting point for future system" do you think the encore will be able to use this feature in the future or do you think the encore will be stand alone and never use this ( which would be very disappointing ) ...

Bests regards

Stephan

Stephan,

It is certainly a standalone product at present, but just like when B&O introduced the Masterlink, subsequently they brought out the Masterlink to datalink converter (eg 1611) to link the old to the new.

I am informed that they intend to produce a Network Link to MasterLink converter which when available will make the Encore able to link into the Masterlink configuration.
