Thanks Gary and Peter (sorry for not seeing this thread sooner!)

I would agree that Google Chromecast Audio (or Apple Airport Express if you use Apple devices) will out perform bluetooth, both for range and sound quality.  I haven't yet found any way to change the text on the Penta displays - if you find a way, please let me know!

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Gary,

Saw that you have the same wish as I have to update the display on the pentas.

I think I saw that a German member have succeeded to update the prom so that the display could show more up to date information. I can not remember who it was but it seems possible.

Regarding your Bluetooth connection question I will order this Bluetooth product from Loudlink, that one have full datalink support so that you can control the Bluetooth source from the BC9000 or from a link room, also it automatically switch source on your BC9000 or turn it on when you start to stream to it. You can also rename the Bluetooth name so it show what you want.

Located in Sweden and have passion for B&O since my years in school. Had the pleasure to be employed by the local B&O dealer in town in the 90th and got an education on the B&O product range at that time (the last fully 2-way integrated products).

Now fascinated about how far ahead B&O was with their Link integrations that you can still use to control and integrate 40 years old products in your smart home.

Prefer the older products since I feel those had a different classic to them and also they were priced/aimed more to the market so that normal people still had a chance to realize their dream and own a B&O product.
