Isn't that option the other way around ?

ie B&O to publish the NL protocol, and the OEM DACs to comply ?

Or did you want a B&O black box with a digital output to USB or TOS connection ?

Yes you are wright

That option could be done in several ways

  => having  B&O publishing it's NLprotocol 

 => having a B&O black box with usb connection , but in this case the Dac drivers shopuld be compatible with the b&O Black box that leads to have either a Microsoft  or Mac Os inside the box

=> A coaxial or toslink connection could also do the job , but my priority order would be Usb 1st, Coaxial 2nd, toslink 3rd because in this order you find more quality /options in terms of Bit and Sampling frequencies

I was in an official B&O store in Denmark two weeks ago with my Beolit 15, the guy in the store told me, that soon there'll be an update, so you could connect more Beolits.

Edit: Already mentioned somewhere else on this forum, sorry.

       Do you know what is missing inside the BL 15 in order to be Multiroom compatible ?

There is only a bluetooth chipset from CSR inside.
B&O´s Multiroom protocol a.k.a. NetworkLink is based on TCP/IP and would therefore require at least a wifi or eth phy chipset...

thanks for this important information

I suspect that B&O will announce a new Beolit in the coming monthes with multi room functionnality.

If I am right I wonder if B&O has a deep obsolence strategy or if they have a 6 months roadmap vision for their products
