In fact, I think that doing so would make the rest of the B&O setup, excluding the speakers superfluous. If you needed an iPod/iPhone/iPad to control things, you also need iTunes, and with that you might as well disregard the rest of the hardware from B&O, apart from their speakers.
exactly how i feel like doing nowadays.
doing all the storage and media file handling by apple's (or some other vendor's, naim server is a nice alternative) products, controlling those with iwhatevers and using only B&O speakers in a setup.
i used to adore B&O as a teenager but in the last fifteen years they were very slow even backwards in terms of innovation. so i sadly say that current B&O products apart from speakers, telephones and car audio items are out of date. i have also come to like some of their recent tv sets just because they also accomodate well performing speakers (BV8 and BV10) but that's about it. all audio products of B&O are out of date (excluding BS8 of course) BV4s are nothing more than pana panels in shiny aluminum cases, i won't even comment on BC2 and BV6, BeoSys3 lacks digital outputs to speakers like BL5s and future BL9s also lacks hdmi 1.4 and any network connection even usb and it costs a fortune too, actually all the video product range lacks price competitiveness along with any 3D features, link devices are age old (hence netlink is a late but right move to make), beo5 is a lost cause so no need to insist on it with the introduction of beo6, beoport is a too little too late situation and finally BS5 (encore or not) is a pointless device bearing MOTS as the only thing as an innovation. (check out naim's solutions for digital audio since squeezeboxes are despised on this forum, while trying to embrace the opportunities which Marantz's and denon's players with airplay are about to bring keeping in mind that we are living in a world where everyone has an apple product to keep their digital music stored) It was already out of date when it was first introduced, now it's a joke. well, a good looking one...
