@BeoMegaMan: now we're into semantics. Yes, there is an "extra module" that is accidentally another full size box same size as Essence itself. And yes, extra attractive in that size for people who don't have racks. The "elegance" of that solution is very B&O. Not.

Regarding 802.11 b/g/n: Essence supports it all. So should the Moment.

I never implied B&O needs to stop supporting g/b, just add n as it a yesteryear's mainstream. (Better companies already have ac as a standard for like two years lol, here we discuss if B&O could MAYBE include n in Moment).

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

Since the update from yesterday the BeoMusic App 2.0 is working with the MK2 Essence!

dumb question: Can the Essence MK1 use the external IR eye, too?

The answer is no!

The Essence (the box) is Spotify Connect compatible - which means, that you can redirect the sound from the Spotify app to it.

Spotify must be controlled through the Spotify app.

Not a dumb question!

The answer - ;-) - is Yes!

You can find that info (and which commands are supported) in the Costumer Service -> FAQ on the B&o website.
