BeoNut since '75

Ed. Looks good.

What are you gonna use it for ?

It weighs almost nothing...

Even better 👍🏻

Unwrapped ...

Snap out ...

Snap in ...

So there’s the unpacking, unwrapping, and snapping in ...

What did NOT work was the power on, the flashing light, and the appearance on the BlueTooth list ...

So I think I have a DOA

And yes it’s light

So light that I would almost believe that there is nothing inside !

Back to the shop tomorrow [:\'(]

To replace the Essence which will go to another room.

What I hope to gain is superior sound by using an all optical path for all my streaming sources
Into shop

Shop checks things, no go, knowing other AU adapter plugs have had issues they deconstruct the plug, give it a wiggle, force it back, reconnect .... and voila a white light.

So Home we did trot, did a re-snap-out, re-snap-in, white light, yayyy

BlueTooth search, found BS Core xxxx, Connect, use B&O App, add product, select found BS Core xxxx, rename it, add WiFi and its password, allow google cast, all good

Software auto-updates, reboots, speakers go pop-pop we’re here 😁
