Hehe, nice 😐

 

 

Any news on the cost of this additional input module?

Or can any USB ADC be used?

How can you stream from a wireless iOS device?

I'm about to go on holiday with a friend who has a BeoSound 5 on his boat, we cant put music on to the BeoSound 5 as none of us will have a laptop, so this would be a great way of getting the music we want to listen to playing on the boat, rather than having to play CD's on the on-board BeoCenter 2!

As usual there are no specifications or instructions with the update.  I guess we will have to "stay tuned".  The update worked without any problems so far.

I would guess it is probably like the setup described for the Beosound 5 Encore.  Peter posted the user guides for the Beosound 5 Encore.

The BeoSound 5 userguide has been updated already on the B&O site. It says "You can listen to music from an external device, such as a smartphone or a computer, on the speakers of your music system. The device must be connected to the same network as BeoSound 5 and an application on your device is required to communicate with BeoSound 5. Once communication is established, the ‘control’ over BeoSound 5 is taken by the external device. There is no mention of what this "application" is and no indication of it on the iTunes app store yet.

The userguide also mentions an optional bluetooth dongle for adding bluetooth devices to the A.Aux.

Thanks beojeff for the information.  That user guide wasn't there when I looked.
