Doc,

Since the Avant isn't actually supported by the Halo (yet) but the Core is, can you add the Avant as the primary linked product to the Core and add the NL/ML Converter as the secondary linked product to the Halo and get it to work that way? Both of my integrated BeoVision setups involve a Moment, which isn't supported by the Halo, so I don't know if the Core still shows up as a product on the Halo when used in an integrated setup. You'll still want to follow my 2-steps when making any changes. I went for months scratching my head trying to figure out why my second beogram turntable wasn't appearing as a source on  BeoRemote One for bluetooth devices in my NL system.

I have a compatibility question regarding Beosound 35?
Is somebody able to test, if the new BeoRemote Halo is showing the meta-data (e.g. title name, album name) when streaming via Airplay to a Beosound 35?

(as expected) only "Airplay" is displayed on the Halo

Do I understand this correctly? With the Beoremote Halo I can only change the volume on the Beosound 35?
Same functions as a Beoremote Essence offers?
So no need of the display of the Beoremote Halo?

You will get no tag info on the Halo when you AirPlay to the BS35.

It's a pity that B&O can't manage to display the meta data of an Airplay stream with the Beoremote Halo. Unfortunately, no reason to invest in a Halo for me. Too bad. 

In my case I have several B&O speaker systems now, all either connected to a Core with Essence Remote or having the inbuilt B&O streaming technology. For me the Halo would have been a perfect product since I am all in on the B&O audio ecosystem. My current set up is to use 2x Essence remotes (which I have really grown to like) and an iPhone SE that is basically only running the B&O, Music and home automation apps. At $399, it is half the cost of the Halo, aluminum and glass with wireless charging but missing the amazing volume control of the Halo. But the Lock Screen shows the card of what is playing on any speaker...at $399 I would buy the Halo in a heartbeat. So it comes down to cost/value to me...

Can literally ANYONE explain to me why it is better to get this thing vs:

Any old iPod touch that's basically free and will do the same thing.

An iPad Pro and fancy desk stand and still come out cheaper.

I really can't make sense of this thing.

Because it looks better than any alternative.

I like the Halo as its simple and my wife likes it as well. Can anybody let me know if 1.1.2824 is the latest firmware? Also if any of you can store more than one Deezer playlist as I somehow cannot whereas I can for TuneIn stations...
