BeoSound 5/ BeoMaster5 - New Software & Ripping Station available

30 replies

Version 6.05 can be downloded.

And you'll need the new SW if you want to use this ... 

Easy ripping for computer-phobics 😁 and working nicely!

How much is it? Please...

In Austria it retails for EUR 320 (including 20% VAT)

Am I right that this software update is only for the ripping station and not for the much longed-for two-way capability of the Beo6?

external LG drive usb pluged in.

drive is recognized and it starts to rip!

Does it have to be physically mounted on the Beosound 5 or can it be hidden away in a cabinet and connected to Beosound 5 by wires only?

That's the idea - and the supplied cables are very short.

At least the new "about this version" file does not tell anything about 2 way -
looks like we have to wait for 6.06 to get this feature ...

It floats just behind the screen, Razlaw. Barely noticeable and ultimately the most convenient location for a device if it's even needed. Most folks who've adapted their music consumption to digital probably won't need such a gizmo, but there's no question that it widens the appeal of this device. We're very excited about it. 

I don't need it, but as it is B and O, I want it. LOL. Just not sure I like the looks of it behind the Beosound 5. I have my 5 setting on a cabinet and like the way it looks with the space between the screen of the 5 and the top of the cabinet.
