I couldn’t recall if both ML connections on the new NL Convertor work at the same time despite them being bridged. If not just cut in an ML junction box and make a local join. The line in on the new NL Convertor is higher quality than the USB input.

 

 

I’ve got a BeoLink Convertor 1611 on eBay via B&O Ealing if this helps.

Please do correct me if you try it and I"m wrong. I've always been told that you can just use one of the ML connectors in the NL/ML Converter. There still remains the problem that you can't have two Audio Masters in the role of master connected in one ML network. The BeoSound 5 would have to give up the master role, but that can only work with a few of the newer products that support N.Radio and N.Music and those newer products would not support datalink for the turntable.

 

I can get clarification from product support to find the best solution.

This is my plan:

1. Find a good used or refurbished Beogram 7000 Turntable

2. Try it with the DIN-AUX-In cable

3. Buy a 1611 (yours is good at 60£)

4. Buy a ML to RJ45 cable and do the testing, if not working properly buy the junction box

5. Enjoy the turntable via BeoRemote One :)

Thanks guys!

 

Please, if somebody knows if the new BeoLink Converter NL/ML can manage both RJ45 ML and ML at the same time, let me know!

and also if somebody sales a nice Beogram 7000 :)

I know that the BM5 is no more "Audio Master" as long as the BV Avant is the master now.

Can it help?
