5. Sound Design control
6. Manual Selection og Re-naming innput
7.  The “About” menu missing Speaker Info about “Input Signal” to display detailed information about the input audio signal or “Temperatures”

When was SW 2.3.4.6892 uploaded (away from my BL90s)?  BL50/90 I think have the same core SW

For me, these are the outstanding features not fully augmented yet and the importance to me!

Basic adjustments -   Tone Controls  - Not Required                  

Advanced controls  -  Loudness  - Not Required    

                                   Frequency Tilt  - Not Required    

                                   Sound Enhance  - Not Required    

                                   Sound Design  - Not Required    

Input parameters  -    Re-naming  - Good!        

                                  Gain offset - Waiting !

                                  Pw Link Vol for dig inputs  - Most Essential! 3rd party implementation and BeoRemote vol control??

                                  USB Volume  - Essential

 

No idea when these will be implemented but it says something that B&Os flagship product is approaching end-of-warranty in March 2019 and still not up to full bluebook specification.

I asked my B&O dealer when  these 8-10 outstanding features will be implemented but the answer was rather arrogant, in the near future!

We know what that means “hopefully is the next year, but who knows”

It’s a special kind of sort of terrible, that makes it almost, if not actually, funny😎

I have been told(instructed) that this is only a “software problem”. Well try to explain this to the shareholders in Volkswagen AG!

Now suddenly the Technical Sound Guide. Bang & Olufsen A/S. April 3, 2018 is gone and only the old one dated September 2017 is available! Strange ?
