Ok, that's not good is it! I went through the BS5 forum and can't believe how many negative comments and issues there are

I'm curious; does anybody own a beosound 5 and simultaneously feel that they have got what they've payed for...?




Yes, 2 months after buying,  many recoverys, software update, troubleshooting etc.  I'm finaly happy with my Beosound 5. Now it works like it should and I love it.

It is so decent that friends etc. even don't notice that this could have anyhting to do with music! :-)
 

 

that's precisely why i am asking. the unit was bought this summer after the modification to prevent dust...

it's something that i thought had been sorted but obviously hasn't and was wondering if others had noticed in under the glass in their newish units.

contacted the dealer and they are looking into it and speaking to denmark.

let's wait and see.

Maybe it was a stock product, made before the modification 🤔

ive not noticed any dust 😐

Try removing the sunglasses!

ha ha, if only it was my sunglasses but sadly it isn't

still waiting to hear from b&o about this issue. may take some time. i guess they wouldn't want to replace the Bs5 unit only to find that it happened again - maybe a more permanent solution is in the pipeline...

Aagh! Dust under the glass of my BS5 too!

Though my dealer suggests the 'modified' version was only introduced May or June.

Now awaiting the seal upgrade.

I had mine a few months now. Runs with out a hitch - only issue I have is to do with a milti disk album. the BS5 displays them incorrectly

it displays them

 

Song1  Disk1

Song1  Disk2

Song2 Disk1

Song2 Disk2

etc

OK for MOTS but if it's a live concert album - very frustrating

 

But the unit is great - glad I bought it

 

Hi,

that's why I'm editing the tags of the tracks manualy. I removed "Disc 1" etc. on such tracks and ripped it as a "compilation CD" in iTunes.

I only rip classical, Jazz and instrumental music etc. in Losless, electronic music is ripped in MP3 320kbit/s.

 

Yes, should be able to get around this by renaming the disk or renumbering the the tracks.

 

I am more worried about gapless not beeing available for any other format them Wav which I cant do on my mac.
