is the sound better?  Is this for the 20s?

what does the CORE do that the essence doesn't?  Or is it just the better optical?  

 

Thanks for sharing.

Surely !

I have no other acquisition plans ...

The open question is “BV or not BV”

Although this afternoon while I was in the queue (😉 yes a queue in B&O store ! And that include a group of showing a lot of interest in the Shape) I was able to educate myself on the Eclipse’s Deezer App ... and at the same realising how important VOICE has to be for our B&O future (I had not realised how much voice commands and search terms I use on a daily basis)

Anyway the Eclipse 55” is still in the hunt 🙂

TBH I don’t know ... I will be relocating the Essence to drive the 6000s in a “new” room.

I prefer the Core as it less obtrusive.

And it has been pumping music for some 3 hours without a glitch.

I am assuming it has more powerful chips given how technology advances.

I have as yet not decide where the wheelie goes - the Core supports pairing - however the best room might be to follow its Essence.

I don’t think the IR eye has support in the Core so Beo remote control is a loss.

Also right now I appear to have a BLC NL/ML issue - no doubt caused by me being super cautious with a mass power down on Friday on account of the (non-eventusting) super-storm warnings.

I made a long post - let’s hope it’s released from mod camp soon.

In short only for the optical.
Good stuff Mr Elephant. I’ll be interested to hear how you get on with the core as I’m thinking about one myself.
How do you connect a beosound core to two beolab 3. The beosound core has only one powerlink plug???

You can use a Power Link splitter, like this one: https://www.soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/27-rj45-powerlink-compatible-splitter-new-powerlink-to-two-8-pin-din-powerlink-compatible-sockets.html
