in my opinion B&O is also very much about convenience - and if convenience gives you a result, that pleases you, you are good to go.

Please do forget about highres, less jitter, cable mystics etc, things that might only destroy your joy of listening..........when the differences are just marginal and not noticeable for the daily listening

Yes I do agree with that. Each to his own of course as well but for me simplicity is key in my home environment. 

Core is on it's way to me as I write but taking it's time.... Postnord. 

I am not entirely sure why I went down this route? Maybe just to get everything out of the Beolab 50's that I can? 

Why it arrives I can post more Core/lab50 experiences?

As a 60's born I already know it will be a struggle!

It doesn’t do anything on the core, nor can you use the dpl INPUT on the 50’s as an input. Unless something has changed in the latest sw update, but I wasn’t able to make that work with anything end of last year. New: Beovision Harmony, Beolab 50's, Beolab 18's, Beolab 17's, Beolab 3's, Beosound 9000 mk3, Beosound Stage & LG, Beosound 2, Beoplay M3, Beoplay A1, Beoplay H4 gen 2, Beoplay E8 3.0

Old: Beovision Eclipse, Beolab 1's, Beolab 2, Beovision 10-46, Overture 2300, beolab 8000's, Beolab 4000's, Beovision avant 32" etc. etc.

The DLP port was changed for having an ir eye connected there - with the MK2.

Seems that they aren’t working on DLP possibilities for time being.

But who knows, it might change again for future product - I just don’t see that happen soon.

Can’t you just use the PowerLink from the Core to the BL50? It is one of the speaker options for the Core in the B&O app. I would assume the DAC on the Core would be exactly the same as the BL50. I use mine quite a lot with the Eclipse Remote for TuneIn radio or to stream from my phone using AirPlay without turning on the Projector. My set up with the Core is Apple TV 4K connected to my Projector, the Projector to Core using Optical and Core connected to BL 11 via PowerLink, which is connected to one of the BL 6000s which is then wired to the another BL 6000.

In my case, adding the Core makes a big difference compared to connecting the BL directly to the projector or using a Bluesound Node 2i (which I have also tried). 

Initially when I got the Core/Eclipse I didn’t use the remote much. But now, I see how well they work together.

Just saying since you mentioned you are looking for a seamless system and the Core might help. My 2 cents...

Not sure exactly how your setup works but the BL50 just have one single PL input (unfortunately) and it is occupied by my avant55 that has an apple tv 4k so I do stream that way. 

A core could be connected optical (or possibly by DPL in the future). Not sure what you mean by eclipse as you also say you have a projector. Do you have an Eclipse and a projector? Curious :) I am also considering adding a projector for bigger picture but have no idea of how to solve it today.
