I would like to have TuneIn Radio and Spotify (Connect version), that's why the Essence would be the solution and not the Playmaker. The Playmaker wouldn't give me additional features compared to my ATV connected to BV 7.

hi räuber!

does not the essence wake up from standby if you start the music from the mobile via spotify connect or itunes (airplay)?  So only press Aux on the beo4 and start streaming via a mobile without the need of the essence weelremote or the ir-eye.

If u hold the standby button on a remote, or more specific the essence wheel. Does all the network-link equipment in the house turn off? I would like to place a wheel in the hallway and am wondering if it can be a 'shutdown-home' button.

I took a look at the Gramofon (again). Also Millemissen posted his experiences with this interesting device in December last year.

But what I miss is a digital output, so you have to use the DAC of the Gramofon. That's why I fear the sound with good Beolabs will not be superb. No brand is able to offer such a device for 50 € with a high quality DAC. Or am I wrong?

I am also considering adding the Essence to my setup with the V1. First was thinking about Moment, but now Essence is a great alternative.

Sorry to ask a few probably dump questions, but I am not (yet) home in all details of B&O systems. Three things not yet clear to me:

- Is V1 supported in the multiroom and beo app as only the BV Avant is mentioned on th e B&O multiroom page as supported TV

- I have 2x BL3 connected to my V1. How should I connect the BL3? To the Essence so I can use them just to play music/radio (without switching on the V1) or keep them to the V1? The question is if I can still use the BL3 in a TV surround module of my V1 (3.1 surround setup) is the additional speakers are not connected directly to the V1?
If the addional speakers need to be connected to the TV for full use during TV mode, there is probably less functionality for the Essence, unless I buy addiional speakers to link them with the essence?

- Does the beo app also has player capabilities on the iPhone/iPad itself. e.g. Can you access and play all music on your Phone with a headset and even play through iPhone on my A2 or is the app only an infrastructure, but no actual player?

thanks for clarifying

1: The V1 is supported (but not listed on the multiroom webpage, because it is discontinued).

3: BeoMusic is a control app - can not be used for local playback.

2: I'll have to come back on that later - maybe someone else has the 100% correct answer to it.

Hi guys, finally received my Essence mk2 today to use with BL15/16/Amp1 on a bathroom. I have never had an Essence before and never used any B&O apps or Spotify Connect, but I have a WISA sub (BL19), a Transmitter1 and some Receivers and a Playmaker for AirPlay, so I have som experience with this new wireless stuff.

What I want to do with this Essence is to maximise the WAF (wife acceptance factor) on the bathroom, and unfortunately I thought that we could do some setup in the Beo Music app and then play Spotify and Tunein radio stations from the remote without a connected phone or other device. Now it seems that I need to start Spotify on a device, enable Connect and leave it open and in the network to use Spotify. Any suggestions on how to increase the WAF here? Could I leave some iPod logged in constantly, or would I lose the connection to Spotify connect anyway? Any other ideas?

When I select a Spotify playlist, the essence keeps on playing that playlist even if I turn my phone off or disconnect it from the internet. 

Have you tried using Deezer yet through the app?

The same happened to me, but only for a while. I kept WIFI off on the phone and tried to start Spotify again from the remote, but it switched to Tunein. I can try with Deezer later if they have a free month, but then I won`t be able to test your premium problems anyway, unfortunately.

Anyone succeeded in adding favourites to Tunein in the Beomusic app? Doesn`t work here, and it`s really annoying when pressing next on the remote takes my to any random radio channel.
