The BeoMusic app seems to work nicely. All my NAS music is on there, stuff from my iPhone, TuneIn and I can fully browse Deezer, swipe to add to favourites etc.

Very nice, Martin.

I've been waiting for an unboxing like this for some time now.

Time for real life experiences with the Moment!

Keep them/the unboxings coming, guys 🙂

P.S. Did you connect it directly to your Avant (via NL) and use that (and it's connected speakers) as your speakers?

And - by the way - congrats on your purchase.

Well done Martin

I love these three in situ shots

Great to see that wood on wood matches regardless of the original acorns they came from

Hi MM

The connection to the Avant could not have been easier.

My Avant gets its internet connection via Wifi.

My Moment gets its internet connection via Wifi.

When going through the setup screens on the Moment, it said 'do you want to connect wireless speakers' and I said no. Next screen was 'do you want to connect wired speakers' and I said no. Then it asked if I want to share my TV's speakers and I said yes. I picked my Avant off the list of TV's showing on my wireless network and that was that - sound started playing from the Avant as soon as I pressed play! Dead easy, all via Wifi.

I'm assuming this is also possible with if you had a BV11, and even if your Avant was wired, and the Moment was not and any permutation of wired or wireless B&O devices as long as they're connected to the NL network somehow. Is this correct?

If I may answer?

Yes, that is absolutely correct!

Thanks MM, even though I'm not a fan of the design, the described connectivity aspect appears to be out of this world seamless - amazing!

Yes it does - I went for the NAS option and was surprised that I didn't even need to give it any credentials - I often find it tricky to log in an iDevice or computer to my NAS (it's a GoFlex Pro) but the Moment just immediately started indexing the songs - and they work!

So that sounds like it was accessing the file system rather than the iTunes data base, and certainly not communicating to the iTunes application.

Correct ?

And easy test would be to verify that Moment plays and Moment hearts (likes) do not update the iTunes data base records.

I wonder how playlists will be shared ............ or not.
