I am.

I posted my opinion on usage of some specific hardware and my disagreement with a specific statement about said hardware. If anything, Trip's comment is the one trolling as it pertains to absolutely nothing factual but is a misplaced ad hominem.

Yay. 

 

I'm sorry to be unable to be yet another yes-man toeing the party line in a vacuum.

Well said.  

 

They both have their place to me.

I have the bm5/bs5 system and wouldn't trade for an encore for any reason.

However, I may add an encore in te future.

I see the reason for both

I'm curious: If you added an Encore, would you be more interested in having it be an isolated stand alone source or a link room extention of the audio master? I can see the benefit of both.

I have BM5/BS5 and have added a Encore in my bedroom so the Encore is a "Wifi beolink active with large display" there i can listen at the same time one music from bm5 in livingroom and other linkroom, and another music in my bedroom from BM5  thru Encore

If you for example have four linkrooms you can BS5/BM5 and four Encore and possibilities to listen different music in every room!

But i would also have the 2way wifi in encore!, but i think b&o want to boost up the selling of BM5/BS5 and even more boost up selling Beo6

and therefore waiting with these feature on Encore..

I would add it as an extension.

Use the bm5 as the server and the encore to select.

I would put it in a guest room. I have all guest rooms linked now but it would be nice to have a bs5e interface in them.

Hi

 

I do not get the large cover art that you are showing in your picture to work on mine. The three small ones are fine.

I do not get the Que list to work either. Did you do anything special to yours to work?

Erik,

press the + when the three covers are shown and you get the actually playing track

que: press f.e. on an album untill a submenu is popping up; there you can choose que

Carolpa,

I've got the same problem as erik mentioned. No covers when I'm on the screen of the actually playing track, only the B&O logo.

And what do you mean by "press f.e. on an album" ??

In B&Os updated manual for BS5 all of these "how-to´s" are explained. My problem is that mine is not working properly. I get the MOTS logo but not the QUE when i press and hold.... and as Hackels shows in his picture the large cover art just do not show. :-((. I have written to B&O support but so far no answer.
