Hi carlitoDoes it have wisa?Short update. Installed the Essence MK2 today. Overall experience is very good. The BeoMusic App is currently NOT working with the new Essence. The last update of the App was back in January this Year. Workaround: Spotify via Bluetooth is working, TuneIn is working (Configured via BeoSetup App). ITunes Library connected via Aux-In from my DAC (controlled via Remote App from Apple). Keep you posted when the update is ready

Yes, after the major software release in September or later this year. My dealer loan me a Transmitter 1 until then.
...and the price?

In AUS, the price of an Essence Mark I minus the price of its remotei.e. The Essence Mark II appears to be priced at the same as the Mark I at a white box for white box levelThe Mark II's remotes are separate and I suspect have a range of prices I.e. a trade off between an IR eye for existing Beo remotes, versus the table top...and the price? MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.

That is the reason, why I still can't believe, that it will come with built-in WiSA.
Would be nice, if it does, though.

I popped into a dealer near where I work, I was told that the Mk2 was £850, and did not come as a seperate box and remote. So just hoping thy were wrong.
also told there was no upgrade available for those who brought an original Essence
I am not sure which part you are hoping is wrong !£850 is more expensive than the standalone box in AUS, so maybe GB is packaging the remote with it and charging more ?My understanding (in AUS anyway) is that if you have a pre-existing Mark I and you buy a second new Mark II to get multi-room, then you get the original upgraded. Which makes sense - why upgrade if there is no requirement for additional features ?I popped into a dealer near where I work, I was told that the Mk2 was £850, and did not come as a seperate box and remote.

Here is a short video on how the Multiroom system works with the Essence Mark 2.
The other link is to the new Beosound Essence page on Bang & Olufsens webpage. The page isn't really ready yet, but you can get some information out of it.

Thanks - appreciate that.
The first video should be well known to most (interested) Beoworlders. It was even rumoured, that the 'joining' of the A9 was faked, because the sw was not finished at that time...
The second was mentioned in a thread started on last saturday by the user Emil.
I wonder, when the guys in Struer will notice, that a not-finished webpage is online 😴
