You can choose between LC3+ (lossy) and PCM (lossless).

Although LC3+ is lossy, it’s a high quality codec and not squeezed (fixed 500kbps per channel). It also offers best in class error correction, so in case of bit errors, you actually won’t notice whereas PCM will give you a dropout in sound.

 

P.S.

I guess you will need two (of the same) devices/as a pair.

I’d go for a wired connection, (if you want the lossless version).

A Mozart BS2 can be used / connected wirelessly with a Theatre - the app (connected speakers part of Theatre settings) will give you the option to select/connect via 3 means now.  Those 3 being Powerlink, WISA, and now DPL.   If you have a DPL speaker, that will be an option.

More broadly, you can only connect a max of 4 speakers to the Theatre via DPL.

" In a fully wired setup, a wired connection between your router and Beosound/Beovision Theatre is mandatory."

Hmmm interesting, wonder why

What they mean is that all mozart products (Theatre and speakers you want to connect with DPL) should be on the same network. Easiest way to check this is that you reach all products with the BO App. BO could describe this in a little more easy way.

Yep. 28’s to my Theatre. And also used a Balance as surround speaker via DPL.

Everything works fine, but I’d like to still be able to use my speakers independently from Theatre - which is not possible via DPL. So I am back to PL.

Do you know what the performance is regarding audio quality ? WISA is limited to 24 bits /96kHZ, is it the same ?

Answered above no?

The quote was from Christian (at B&O) in response to a pretty similar question over on Discord.
