BeoSound Moment...unboxing!

Haha! Nope all mine - I have wanted one since I first saw a prototype two years ago. Being in the business doesn't make me any less enthusiastic! I've bought a lot over the years but the Avant 55 and Moment (and my V1's which I think are amazing) are definitely up there in my absolute favourites. I've a 9000 boxed up in the loft but don't really have a place for it - maybe in the next house?! I'm looking forward to swapping out the Sonos in my bathroom for an Essence as - as pathetic as this may sound - its a right pain having to log in to my phone and open an app just to turn the music down when I get out of the shower or leave the house. I like these new hardware based music systems a lot.
Everyone keeps telling how nice the Moment looks or not. What you can do with it or not. Nobody gives a first impression of where the device is actually meant for: what is the sound quality?
After all there is a 'small audioengine' working in the SoundHeart - it is not just a 'china solution' with attached B&O PowerLink outputs etc.
Maybe some day we will hear more on this - I'd be surpriced if Geoff didn't do some magic there too 🙂 👍

Should be working as far as the wifi of the SoundHeart reaches.

MartinW,
" you can use the speaker outputs as LINE OUT if you want to connect in any other way than NL."
Does this mean you can connect The Moment via the speaker output (as line out) to a BV7 mk3 (ML product)?
What is a bit confusing for me is:
- The SoundHeart Communicates with Cable or "standard" Wifi over Ethernet to the Nas
- The SoundHeart communicate with Wifi to the Tablet but is this "standard" Wifi over Ethernet or is it a "proprietary" or "special" Wifi connection
If it is standard Wifi you should be able to control everything as far as you are in the reception area of your Home Wifi Network
If it is "dedicated" wifi you must stay in the reception area of the SouneHeart
1: you can say it so.
I'd rather say it this way:
The SoundHeart communicates with all devices (including your NAS or Pc with Twonky running) that are on your NL network.
2: the Jukebox communicates with the SoundHeart through wifi.
As far as I have understood it, the SoundHeart (during the setup) builts a (dedicated) access point to which the Jukebox (the panel-remote) logs in.
In the right lower corner of the sreen it is indicated (it is written with very small letters) whether the Jukebox is connected or not.
So, yes - you must stay in the reception area....
But I guess that this will reach far enough in most cases - we'll see what Martin's test brings.

Thanks MM for your answer That is definitivly clear
Just have to wait for Martin's Answer
Looks fantastic in your photo's and I don't mind the rubber border around the screen anymore as its for when you put it down on a flat surface to protect the screen. I knew B&O had to have had a reason to do that.
Martin
I have another test for you .. (if your home config allows it, .... and if you agree of course)
Is it possible to select your music (Flac files on your NAS) from the Moment and let it play on a NON B&O DNLA player
(of course you need to have a music system or TV which is DNLA complient, in order to achieve that)
Thanks for your patience
