Still waiting for 'AirPlay over Bluetooth 4.0' 👍

Greetings Millemissen

 

Yeah, at a maximum of 200kbps in the best case scenario - So much better than WiFi, lol!

 

 

Thank you all for your responses.

I do have the option of using a network cable but I was hoping to keep the wires that cross the floor to a minimum.

My router is the best Billion Router I could purchase. It has many features and I don't want to replace it unless I have to. It is about 2 years old with the latest firmware.

I understand the suggestion that it is my iphone or ipad, so I've ordered a new ipad. My logic is that the old device could be struggling with sending data over WiFi to both the NAS and A9 simultaneously. I also own a Samsung Galaxy S3 so I'll see if it has the same symptoms.

Did anyone else find the optical port or is it just mine? The B&O tech didn't even know it was there!

H Gavin,

??? Optical port in a B&O-product???

That would be the first time ever.

Greetings Millemissen

Really?

I thought some of the high end speakers (Beloab 5) had optical in

No, the digital in is coax in the BL5s.

Hi,

Yes, Bubble is one of the better DLNA Apps. I think the Samsung default Music player can stream to the A9 but cannot control the volume for some reason. Or maybe I'm just not using it correctly.

I also find it takes several seconds (5?) for the streaming to start. Like it is buffering for too long? My SONOS system is about 1 second and works flawlessly via the RCA inputs.

hello,

same here, seems to restart randomly. is anyone experiencing interference noice ? i have cracking noises like static electricity comming out of the a9 speaker on a regular basis. am using apple airport extreme latest models. the interference is Always there whether using Airplay or via cable (rca) connections.

thanks

Hi, I have the static electricity noise too. I switched to ethernet cable to eliminate wifi but I now suspect that the device I was playing the music from (ipad or iphone) was the problem as it was still on wifi and the source of the music was either a NAS or Spotify which is ultimately data from the internet.

What WiFi network are you using - 802.11g, n or both?

Next I will try a dedicated wireless network for music streaming (n only) and leave the 'g' network for other equipment.

I will update over the next few weeks.

Hello,

in addition I would like to add that I tried following without success : 

watching movie on apple tv using airplay to stream sound to A9 or letting sound pass trough the TV and using cable connected to rca does not eliminate the interference. so it's not a case of using airplay and it's there and using cable and it's gone. The movie itself however is being streamed wireless from NAS to appleTV.
