Beolab 5 & 96khz sources

25 replies

hello,

 

what year are youres from?

Hi, I have Beolab 5 from 2015 with software 3.30a in the labs 5. No klickning noise with an Auralic Aries (96/24) with Coax-cable from the Auralic to the labs5.

My suggestion is to update your Beolab 5 to latest software (3.30a). That should help you.

Best regards

Martin

Hi I have a very dumb question... how can I update the firmware / software on the BL5? How can I know the manufacture year? I bought them second hand.

 

Thank you!

Not a dumb question. I think it’s a dealer job.

I will try and do some research on this but believe this is common problem with a lot of Hi-Res Transports/DACs.

There are entries on the Auralic forums where this seems to be common occurance. 

I dont think it is a problem with your BL5s per se but something associated in sampling/resampling/upsampling digital files.
