I had read that too.

However that ‘just’ describes the current state.

I guess that a broader use is a case of engineering….
…..and whether they will want to do so or not.

We’ll see!

Personally I am covered by the NL/ML Converter to pipe sound from my old Audiomaster/CD into the NL devices in my setup.
Even if playback on my BS Theatre can not be initiated from the BST - only by ‘joining’.

It would be a missed opportunity for B&O not to offer this broader, even if it was just for the thousands of BS 9000’s out there.

I have a BS9000 connected to an essence with Powerlink speakers. By the sounds of it this box won't work in this situation unless it has more ports than just USB-C?

There was some talk/links over on Discord/BeoTalk of someone in Germany who had developed a Masterlink/RJ45 "device" than could integrate older Masterlink Products via the current NL protocols for 100Euro or so.

I imagine the encore is not as well-developed as this little "professional but amateur" (or Amateur but professional) device this individual made and is now selling. As I own no ML products I was not really paying attention.but its out there for those that do.

How much would anyone like to wager that this little box is indeed the BC-Encore and it has a 3000Euro mark-up to be configured with the BS-9000c?

Note to Moderators/site admin. Not sure if the "Quote" functions are working correctly on-site?

I run a powerlink cable from my Beosound 9000 into a Almando that is connected to my Beolab 5’s. I can control the Beosound 9000 fully with my BeoRemote One BT (which controls all my other units).
I do not understand the point of that box, is it only to show it in the app?

And if I want the Beosound 9000 to work with multiroom, I can connect a M3 (cheapest solution) or a Core.

I will get the Beosound 9000 anodized like the 9000c, and make a new stand. Not sure what I will do with the light, I don’t like the cold blue white they have “upgraded”. Then I’ll call it a day.

But I am very glad that B&O has upped the value and wow-factor of this classic unit. Suddenly you appreciate it even more.
