Presumably they're all in the bar by now. Maybe some feedback tomorrow?

hi,

the message in french forum was not very explicit but "bs5 encore" probably means "bs5 again" or "another bs5". there remains a slight chance that there really exists a new revolutions product called the "bs5 encore", but i'm not holding my breath.

"Beosound 5 Encore" means "Beosound 5 encore" as it is the name of the new product.

"Encore" indeed means "again", but in english it correspond to the moment at the end of a concert when the artists come back to play a few more songs.

Think Beosound 5 without the need for a Beomaster 5 (the bit that doesn't work very well!!) and which simply connects to your own music on your computer.

I think the others are fairly explanatory though I have not seen the Beo6.

Good idea this "BeoSound 5 Encore" but i think the computer must be "switched on" to listen to music.

The "old" BeoSound 5 can play music even if the computer is off, that's what i appreciate.

Anyway, these new products seems very cool...

If the Beosound 5 Encore is compatible with any NAS on the Market, you won't have to have a PC switched on (in fact, with the Original BS5, you always had a PC switched on, as the BM5 is just a full PC... Now maybe you will be able to lower power consumption, choose any hard drive size, choose a multiple hardrive NAS in order to automatically backup everything, make an auto-synchronisation of your music files to the disk...).

Now I just hope that the Beosound 5 Encore will be priced reasonably, and that it will allow playback of the main kinds of formats (Apple Lossless) and gapless playback (like every $20 mp3 player from the '90s...)😁

The new remote seems promising too!

Thanks Phil,

The Beosound 5 encore I going to guess will allow one to use any Windows PC with Beomaster 5 software or maybe Beoplayer.  Beo6 should be interesting.

Speculating on these things is always fun.
